Here is documentation of hop garden building process. I've build it in May 2022.
I planted 4 pcs of hops in the last fall - 2x Žatecký poloranný červeňák (Saaz) a 2x Sládek.
I've bought it directly from Hop institute from mr. Brynda https://www.chizatec.cz.
Fortunately all of them are alive and thrive.
It's time to build hop garden!
Firstly, we need to cast concrete pillars. I put there 10mm screw rods already, to avoid drilling into concrete afterwards.
Paint 5m 100x140mm construction timber:
Next thing to do: Drill 20cm dia hole, 20cm in deep, insert concrete pillars & fill in gravel. Compact with iron rod.
Finally put on timbers and screw rods and tighten.
Result from a distance:
Parameters:
- Wood timbers 5m, 100x140 mm
- hole depth 80cm, 20cm dia, compacted gravel
- inbetween distance of hops - 140cm, distance between wood timbers 6m
- main wire dia 1,5mm
- vertical wire dia 0,9mm
