HOW TO GROW ASPARAGUS FROM SEED. When it comes to growing asparagus from seed you will need to prepare a suitable seed bed during the previous autumn. Dig over the bed to a spit deep and incorporate plenty of well-rotted farm manure or garden compost at the same time. Then prior to sowing go over the soil surface to produce a fine tilth.
Plant the crowns 18 inches apart in the trench. Place 3 inches of soil and aged manure over the top of the crowns. Water the trench thoroughly. When the asparagus begins to grow, add an inch of soil each week until the trench is completely filled in and the asparagus stands 12 to 18 inches tall. Place 3 to 4 inches of mulch over the asparagus. Replace the mulch as needed throughout the growing season. The mulch will keep weeds at bay and the soil moist.
