I think it will be crucial for you to get the root balls out of the buckets and into the ground at rhizome planting time next spring; trying to grow in buckets for the second year doesn’t sound like a good idea to me. If you’d like to discuss the idea further, I know that we have a number of growers using buckets in my ‘Grow-Hops’ group, which now has over 2,100 members. Follow the link from my website.

Cheers.
