Alien Invasion

Asparagus looks like something from Alien, a collection of tangled roots which have to be burried in a trench a foot deep. The roots are about two foot across with a small crown in the middle. Not something to be undertaken lightly, especially with our soil, but once in place should produce lovely crisp spears for years to come.

Have a quick look at the video produced by "Soilman". Soilman's Video. I watched this before planting and it was enlightening as to what to expect.  I have just started to follow his blog which is truly informative, entertaining and written in a colourful way!
