Today's Garden Graph By Dean Halliday
When asparagus roots select strong one year old crowns they outpace older crowns in root establishment and growth. Prepare soil deeply before planting and apply liberal amounts of barnyard manure to ensure vigorous growth.

Garden Planting Instructions From The Garden Graph
The trench should be eight inches deep in light soil and five inches deep in heavy soil. Place the root crown on a two inch mound of soil at the trench bottom, spread the roots, then cover with a few inches of soil without filling the trench. As plants grow, gradually add more soil to avoid root suppression.
