Hey everyone, thinking about growing my own hops but have never done it before. Any tips/tricks for the Midwest climate, where to purchase/what to look for, etc??

Thanks!

    I’m in Chicago and don’t have what one would call a green thumb, but I planted some rhizomes from northern brewer and just used there fertilizer. First year was a very small yield. I’m now on year three and my backyard looks like a hop farm. Point being they grow like weeds if you water them and give them a bit of fertilizer as instructed
