You may remember I got a load of spent hops recently. I used them in my maincrop potato trenches, placing the potatoes either direct on top or on shredded paper on top of the hops. I have since read that, as a mulch, wet hops can scorch stems, and I'm worried that they may have burnt the tubers. I planted them nearly 3 weeks ago and have only seen a few shoots so far. Does anyone have any knowledge/experience of this?
