Welcome to the list. My husband and I have an acquaintance friend who
has been a truck driver for the last twenty years. He planted I forget
how many asparagus crowns a year ago, with the intention of becoming an
asparagus farmer in 2008. He says that he thinks he'll earn a similar
living to driving the truck full-time, but without the wear and tear and
mental fatigue.
We have two asparagus beds in our garden that we "inherited" when we
bought our place six years ago. One does moderately well (10+ years
old) but the younger bed (8 years) is just so-so. Any ideas of how to
improve the younger bed that is barely producing?
