Planting Asparagus Crowns in Raised Beds

Planting asparagus is neither difficult nor complicated, especially when planted out in raised garden beds.

How to Plant Asparagus Crowns in Raised Beds

A good all-purpose planting soil for planting asparagus crowns in is 1 part peat moss and 1 part quality compost. Make sure you amend the soil with additional nitrogen since asparagus is a nitrogen-loving plant.

1. 1. Remove the crowns from the package. Presoak them in water before planting, up to a couple of hours.
   2. Mark your holes and your desired spacing. Dig a spot and insert the crowns.
   3. Cover with soil. Repeat with remaining crowns.
