For example, if you want to quickly green the facade of your house, then hops are always the best choice. In this way, you can create a true garden paradise within a very short time.
But hops have even more advantages. Not only does it grow quickly, it can also be removed quickly. This is very easy, because in the fall the shoots die off anyway. And that in turn brings with it another advantage: the greening leaves no structural damage. But the best thing is that the hops are easy to propagate. So if you can't get enough of the plant or want to green up a few bare spots in the garden, you've found a quick and easy solution with hops.

Swelled peat is best suited for this.After planting, you must then cover the shoots with a plastic bag. This ensures that high humidity is generated. Then it's time to wait.
