I planted my first hop rhizomes yesterday.  One Northern Brewer and one Willamette.  I attached 10′ 1/2″ EMT to 3 fence posts with saddle brackets.  On the top, I drilled small holes and inserted bits of baling wire, to which I clipped stainless steel carabiners.  I led jute-like twine from low on the fence, up through the carabiners, and out to stakes in the ground right behind the planted rhizomes.  When the vines (bines) sprout, I’ll choose 2 from each plant and train them up the twine.  That’s the plan, anyway.
