Planting Asparagus

To plant asparagus you need to dig trenches 6 inches deep, lay the crowns(asparagus roots) and cover with three inches of soil. It works good with tow people...It was a great way to strengthen pregnancy squats. I would lay down the crown and Paul would cover them with soil. He was could shovel much quicker than I scoot down the trenches but it worked out. When planting asparagus you can't pick it for three years. So plant it in a spot that you won't want to till up and be patient!
