How to Grow Asparagus 
Manure the ground heavily, using well rotted barn manure. Make a trench 8 to 10 
inches deep. Have 4 inches of good rich ground on the bottom, spread the roots out 
evenly and fill in about 3 to 4 inches.of soil. Leave the rest of the trench lay open for the 
first summer. Let all stalks grow the first year. Fill the trench up in the fall of the first 
year. Let several stalks grow on each plant the second year. In the third year allow one 
stalk per plant to grow up, cut all others as soon as they appear above the ground. Culti- 
vate o¢casionally. Plant 1 ft. apart in the row, the rows 3 ft. apart.
