Has anyone tried to move an existing asparagus bed to a new location and
been successful in that venture? If so, do you have any tips & tricks to
share?

We're moving to a new home and I'd love to take my aspargus bed with and
re-establish it in the new location. The bed consists of about 100 crowns
ranging from 3-6 years' maturity.

I've never moved mine, but I expect you'd want the plants in the condition
mine came in when I originally planted them. They were bare-rooted and
with no foliage. So I'd guess that you dig them up in mid-winter, shake
off most of the soil, and transport with the roots wrapped securely in
damp paper or potting mix, etc., so they don't dry out.

I remember having to prepare the bed ahead of time, but just forget what
was required.
