Asparagus garden

Asked May 31, 2016, 10:07 AM EDT

Is there anything I can put on asparagus garden that will keep the weeds out. It's 75 ft long and takes a while to weed.

Baltimore County Maryland

Depending on the depth of the crowns and the planting method used.Mechanical cultivation in early spring along with the application of a 3" layer of mulch,either partially decomposed wood chips or a clean wheat straw, will help deter weeds in your asparagus bed.http://extension.umd.edu/growit/vegetable-profiles-asparagus
