Asparagus

worked light soil and, when well up, thin plants to one inch apart and 
cultivate often until the plants are a year old. 
Transplant or set out the roots in permanent bed (purchasing roots 
instead of seeds will save a year in time), using the richest soil you 
have, thoroughly prepared and worked very deep. Set roots 4 inches 
deep and 18 inches apart in rows 4 to 6 feet apart. Cultivate frequently 
until plants meet in the rows. Use pleny of stable manure or other 
fertilizer on bed before and after setting out roots; mixing well into soil. 
A sprinkling of salt and a dressing of manure after the plants die down 
each year is advisable.
