   Hi Alex, I snipped your request out of Wl-ski's reply. My sister just
   brought me a 6-qt basket of hop flowers, and mentioned that she is
   tearing out her vine. Startled, I enquired why. It seems hops is an
   exhuberant grower, and hers is becoming a pest.
   And I consider comfrey just about as bad. Any cultivation near it
   is risky, as even a leaf portion landing on damp soil can sprout. A
   tiny portion of root will send up a leaf by mid-summer, and next year
   you have a full-blown tenacious plant that requires deep digging to
   remove. (And don't leave any!)  I have a full row to dig...or at
   least, my hubby does. And half a job will mean we're right back at
   Square One.
   Sis thinks hops is almost as bad as comfrey. :-)
                      ...Sandra...
