How to plant and care for asparagus crops in Kansas soil
The guide outlines selecting well drained fertile soil with organic matter, choosing one year crowns of Mary Washington varieties from dealers, and planting at 18 inch intervals in rows four to five feet apart. It warns not to harvest in year one, notes perennials require root reserves, and recommends a two year wait for harvest to yield 15 to 20 years of production with minimal care. It also covers bed maintenance, weed control, spring fertilization of 2-3 pounds per 100 square feet, and soil amendment with 1-2 pounds of ammonium nitrate after harvest, while stating salt is not needed though tolerant of high soil salinity.
