Asparagus Liquid Organic Fertilizer

AGGRAND Liquids Prepare Soil, Nourish Roots For
Healthy Asparagus Plants

• Allow a sunny space for the asparagus row that won’t shade other plants when the unharvested shoots
grow into 5-foot to 6-foot feathery shrublets. Alternatively, the asparagus can be planted to provide summer
shade for greens or cooler-weather crops. (Asparagus thickets were said to have concealed Perigyne,
beloved of Theseus.)

• Dig a furrow about a foot deep and wide, and as long as space allows. Create a mound down the
center of the trench using a mixture of compost, composted manure or leaf mold mixed about half
and half with garden soil. Apply AGGRAND Natural Liquid Bonemeal mixed 6 ounces per gallon of water down
the entire row. Use about a gallon of solution per 10 feet of row.

• Soak the roots in a weak solution of AGGRAND 4-3- 3 – 1 ounce of AGGRAND 4-3-3 in a gallon of water –
for 15 minutes before planting. Then, spread the asparagus root crowns out over the mound in the Asparagus:
A Very Fast Food trench 18 to 24 inches apart, making a slight mound
beneath each crown.

• Once the crowns are in place, cover them gently with 2 to 3 inches of compost and water in thoroughly with
more of the weak 4-3-3 solution. As the shoots begin to appear, spread the remaining soil compost mixture
around them until only the top one inch is showing. Repeat this process every week until the soil is used up.

• At this point, water thoroughly with 3 ounces to one gallon 4-3-3 and 4 ounces to one gallon of 0-12-0
Bonemeal once per month during the growing season. Mulch with compost or shredded leaves to retain
moisture. Be patient. While it takes only a few minutes to cook asparagus, it takes time for the plant to mature
for harvest. Do not harvest any spears during the first growing season, and for only two weeks the next. By
the third season, you should be able to harvest a full
four-to-six weeks or more.
