ASPARAGUS ROOTS 
Fr., Asperge; Ger., Spargel; Sp., Esparrago; It., Asparagi 
Asparagus roots should be planted in trenches, which 
should be prepared at least 2 feet deep and 1 foot wide, 
or 3 rows may be planted in a bed 5 feet wide. The 
excavated soil should be placed on each side of the 
trench; then put in a layer of barnyard manure 4 inches 
deep in the bottom of the trench; if manure is not avail- 
able, use other matter rich in organic material. With a 
spading fork work this manure into the subsoil, then 
fill back the excavated soil to within 6 inches of the 
garden grade and your trench is now ready to receive 
the crowns which should be placed a foot apart and 
covered with about 2 inches of soil after the roots have 
been carefully spread out. Do not cut any Asparagus the 
first year as the plant has to build up a good root system 
and strong crowns before it can really produce. In the 
late fall, following planting, clear off all tops. The fol- 
lowing spring the excess soil on the side of the trench can 
be filled in and the bed is complete. If the bed is given 
an annual dressing of a complete fertilizer, cultivated and 
kept free from weeds, it will give an abundance of As- 
paragus for many years.
