Hi folks,
I am about to plant some asparagus in a raised bed. It will be the only crop in this bed. As I have a soaker hose I was wondering whether it made sense to run it between the rows as I was planting, with the aim of covering it with a couple of inches of soil.
Do you think this would work, or would I risk annoying the asparagus? I wouldn't plan on moving it once it was in, and I would cut it to size so that I just have to attach a hose to the (foot long-ish) end sticking out it of the bed when I want to water). I'm also aware that I would have less of an idea of how much water they were getting each time - would this be a big problem, or would I just have to judge it based on how fast/slow water normally comes out of the hose?
Any advice gratefully recieved!
Thanks,
Anna
