Asparagus. It is very difficult to grow, requires fertile, quite light and easily heated soils. The asparagus can stay in the same place for 15…18 years. Co 2…3 years, manure or green fertilizers are applied, and each year brings a large dose of mineral fertilizers. Asparagus is propagated by sowing seeds on the seedbed, the seedlings are left over the winter and only transplanted into a permanent place the following year, in spacing
150…170 x 40…50 cm. The asparagus harvesting begins in the third year. When sprouts begin to appear in spring, mounds of earth are falling over them, in order to "whiten" them. When growing green asparagus, no rollers are sprinkled. The soil is broken up during harvesting, where the protrusion has appeared and breaks it or cuts it with a sharp knife at the height 3 cm above the carp. The earth is then scraped up and smoothed. Green asparagus is cut with a sharp knife just below the ground, when they are 15…20 cm. After harvesting, the embankments are opened, and in the fall, dry shoots are cut and burned, to prevent diseases from hibernating on them.
Sowing date: hal po.
