How to Plant Asparagus ‘Erasmus’?
Plant Asparagus ‘Erasmus’ in well-drained, fertile soil with a slightly alkaline to neutral pH. Choose a sunny location that receives at least 8 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. Dig trenches about 20 cm deep and space the plants 30–45 cm apart to allow for proper growth. Plant the crowns 5–8 cm below the soil surface, and cover with a light layer of soil.
