Asparagus is one of the more expensive vegetables to buy at the supermarket. This is why I love being able to grow my own asparagus at home.
WHERE DOES ASPARAGUS GROW?
Growing in a pot that can be moved indoors to a cold room is a great way to accommodate this plant’s needs.
HOW TO HARVEST ASPARAGUS
Harvesting shoots will encourage your plants to grow more so avoid forgetting to check and harvest them as the weather is warm in the spring.
HOW TO PROTECT YOUR ASPARAGUS FROM PESTS
Hand-picking and insecticidal soap are your best defense. Keep the PH level above 6 and keep the soil well draining to prevent issues from molding and rot.
HOW TO GROW ASPARAGUS IN A CONTAINER GARDEN
A 3-4 foot long container or two 2 foot containers will help give you a good supply to reduce your costs for asparagus each year.
