years: how do ron account Tor that
A. Well. This has undoubtedly been
csused by the cutting OF the vines as har-
vest time causing the hill 70 bleed and
weakening the roots. Another thing -
that the hops have been picked too early,
which was also detrimental 10 the strength
Of the roots for smother year. This is one
OF the great and in1portan: items IN favor
OF the sbort-poIe system. With this
method the vines are not cut nc al until
mid winter after the roots hare gone 10
