How to grow asparagus tips for the hobby gardener
During the asparagus time the prices for the noble vegetables scare off so many connoisseurs. Why not even grow asparagus in the garden yourself? The care is complex but the success can be proud of - and for many years.
Why grow asparagus yourself?
Good asparagus has its price. But not only the price is a reason to create even a few beds for the breeding of white asparagus or green asparagus in the garden.
Commercially grown asparagus - whether in white or green - is usually only available in very specific varieties. There is a wide variety of asparagus varieties that differ in appearance, color and taste.
For the cultivation of asparagus in their own garden are particularly those varieties that are hardly offered on the market. The cultivation of this asparagus does not differ from that of the common varieties.
Requirements for the cultivation of asparagus in the garden
Asparagus is a perennial plant that stands in one place for a long time. For up to ten years you can harvest from an asparagus bed. Therefore, consider well where the bed should have its place.
The basic requirement for a rich harvest of asparagus is a permeable, sandy, nutrient-rich soil. A good soil preparation is essential if you want to prick a lot of asparagus.
A location in the sun is recommended because the asparagus plants only drive out at a floor temperature of at least twelve degrees. Lay the beds so that they run from north to south. As a result, the rods ripen more evenly.
Care of the asparagus
Spargelbeete must be maintained, the whole year long - also before and after the asparagus season. Unkrautziehen, fertilize and dispose of the herb in late autumn are important care measures.
