I originally was going to buy a hop root (or rhizome) to save on the hassle of working out which was female and which was male.
Once I get a female, I can use the rhizomes to propigate more. They’re a bit like raspberries.
Got the seeds of ebay – 40 for £1. So if a few are male, I won’t mind. Soon have my self sufficientish beer on the go!
