| Popis: | Cultivation in hop gardens and hop yards from sets, the bines growing up poles and strings. Labour intensive tasks of manuring, feeding, training and fighting disease and insects. The tradition of 1000s of families from London and other major cities coming to pick hops in September started in the 17th century and became the best-known cultural feature of hops. The methods of picking, measuring and counting the crop and managing the pickers are described. |
