Hello all,

I was wondering if anyone had any advice for moving an asparagus bed.
I'm afraid I started the asparagus without knowing much about it. I
have one two year old and 2 one year old plants that are doing fairly
well, but I didn't prepare the soil and they don't have much room
where they are. I would like to move them to a better raised bed, but
am unsure of the right time to attempt this. Does anyone have any
advice?

Thanks in advance.

I don't think I'd transplant them in the middle of the summer....

If it's just the soil then ammend with compost and manure on top of
the asparagus bed. If it's a space issue then buy more crowns the
labor of trying to sift the crowns out of a bed will kill you.
Herbicide free grass clippings and woodchips a few inches deep make
good mulches for the beds.
