Illustration of the PROCESS OF PREPARING an Asparagus Bed 



In this case, there being three trenches five feet apart and twenty-four inches deep, each trench filled to a 

 depth of eight inches with well-decayed stable manure, the roots placed on top of the manure in the 

 bottom of the trenches at eighteen inches apart and covered at first by one inch of earth. As the 

 Asparagus plants develop in size the earth is hoed in, until finally by the end of the second year the 

 entire surface is level; the object of the deep planting being that the root crowns shall be far below the 

 reach of an Asparagus cutting knife, but after five or six years the crowns rise nearer the surface.
