- Dig a Trench: Create a 12-inch trench with a mound of soil in the center.
- Position Your Crowns: Gently spread the asparagus crown roots on the mound, ensuring the crown sits on top.
- Fill and Cover: Backfill the trench with a mixture of compost and soil, burying the crown to a depth of 2 inches.
- Harvest window: Asparagus season generally starts in late April or early May, depending on your location and weather conditions. Plant this year for a 2025 harvest.
