How To Plant Asparagus

Planting asparagus is simple! Have your own crop in a little as the following:

• Prepare the soil by spading plenty of humus and fertilizer into it.
• Set asparagus 2 feet apart in a single row.
• Keep rows spaced 3 feet apart if in a garden bed.
• Plant to cover roots as for any perennial.
• Fertilize liberally with stable manure each year.
• Start cutting stalks when they are as thick as your thumb.
• Never cut thin stalks as they are probably young plants which will renew your bed.
• Stop cutting around June 1st-15th to allow your bed to build up for the next year.
