How to plant asparagus crowns
At the risk of sounding like an insufferable egomaniac, I’m always stunned by the performance of my ‘s’ video. It gets hundreds of plays every weekend, especially at this time of year – from which I infer that there are a lot of folks out there wanting to know how to do it right.

I don’t think it much matters if they do get in a tangle. Mine always do. Doesn’t seem to affect their cropping.
