To plant asparagus, dig a trench that’s 8 inches deep. Make a little hill to form the asparagus roots over. Unlike strawberries, you want the crown of the asparagus to be under the soil by about 2″.
As the asparagus grows throughout the spring, mound more soil up around the growing spears and then mulch with straw. But you don’t have to mulch with straw. It’s the “gardeney” thing to do, but whatever.
