any advice on the above subject, i have an asparagus bed that after a
couple of neglected years have allowed wicken grass to move into the
bed. Can you lift the crowns and then clean the bed and replant? any
advice will be gratefully accepted

Asparagus crowns eventually grow somewhat deep in the soil. It might be
easier to remove the grass while the asparagus is dormant. You can even
dig 2-3 inches down without reaching the crowns.
