So I was wondering if I can plant some "barbcue " rosemary in the same bed as my hops? I have 3 hop vines growing up 3 8ft ladder trellis'. Space is not an issue.

I used to grow rosemary next to my hops. It seemed to help repel some pests. The problem is that the rosemary will grow both up and out into a moderate bush. Depending upon how big you let the rosemary get and how close to the hops it is planted, it may begin competing for space.

I see know reason. As reverseappachemaster mentioned, if you live where rosemary survives winters you need to think about how big it will get.

The plant size is definitely a concern. I usually plant marigolds by my hops, they're supposed to provide homes for ladybugs and helpful insects that feed on aphids. I don't know if it's worked, but you can look at some other options.

Thanks for the suggestions. I ended up planting the rosemary in a pot, so that i can take it in for the winter.
