You can root the vines by burying them in moist soil while still attached to the parent plant.* Do this in the fall after harvest and you should have a new vine in spring.* It will be identical to the parent.* Here's some helpful growing info for hops.

When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable plant is to pull on it. If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.
