As someone said buying and planting modern varieties will give you a much better stalk, Asparagus is a heavy nitrogen feeder. Harvest your big stalks early and quit havesting them when they get to pencil size, Let the small stocks grow the rest of the year to put energy back into the root. All spring production is a result of previos years energy storage. 50 male asparagus crown can produce up to 35 lbs an acre between 3000-5000 lbs. | |
