  • asparagus crowns showing

    Hi folks,

    I planted 12 asparagus crowns 3 years ago and now getting some good stalks from them , the only problem is the crowns are starting to show very near to the surface.
    Would there be any problems topping up the soil..
    If it is possible when would be the best time?
    Also what would be best to use, home made compost, normal soil or a mix?
    Any help would be great

    Cheers
    John

    I mulch my asparagus bed every autumn when I cut down the spent fronds.

    Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

    Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

      Do you just use your normal homemade compost.

        Yes, the lovely stuff off the compost heap

          My compost heap (only roughly composted) goes into the greenhouse beds, 50:50 with manure, and at the end of the season goes onto the Asparagus bed - lovely fine mulch
