Product information
Grow your own veg with our Gijnlim Asparagus Seeds - an easier way to eat your greens without spending a fortune on groceries. This variety is a consistent top performer that is simple to grow even for gardening beginners.
- Any type of soil
- harvest period May-June
- Choose a sheltered sunny spot, avoiding frost pockets. The soil should be well dug, incorporating well-rotted manure or compost. Remove the packaging and soak the plants in water for 1-2 hours. Dig a trench 20cm deep and 30cm wide, then make a ridge of soil 10cm high down the centre of the trench. Place plants 30cm apart on top of the ridge with the roots spread out on either side. Fill in the trench with soil leaving just the tips of the crowns visible. Water in well. Space rows 45cm apart. Water well and mulch with compost or well-rotted manure in dry spells. Apply a general fertiliser in early spring in subsequent years.
