Today I started planting out asparagus of Albenga onto my allotment I dont plant the asparagus crowns the way the experts advise which is digging a trench and making a wedge shape at the bottom of the trench I dig a round hole about twelve inches deep spray the crown with comfrey add root grow and then spread the roots around the hole I do add silver sand and a good compost to the mixture and not forgetting to add perlite for drainage yesterday I finally managed to plant out the seven remaining crowns using my asparagus planting method which seems to be working on the other asparagus beds I noticed today that there were new shoots coming out of the crowns not bad as they have only been planted a few weeks
