Building Hop garden

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
