Hops need a strong trellis system for the bines (the technical term for hops’ “vines”) to climb on. Bines can grow to over 25 feet and weigh over 20 pounds. Soil needs to be loose (well-aerated by turning over several times). It should also be well-draining; hops don’t like to have consistently wet roots. More @Wikipedia
