Asparagus New Shoots
I have planted 5 asparagus slips
Dug a trench and created a rideg and laid them over the ridge so they spread out sideways about 4 foot in total
? Should the new growth only appear from the centre of the slips on the rideg OR can they appear any where along the roots
Its because I want to how the bed
Everyone is just trying to be Happy.....So lets help Them.

I wouldn't risk hoeing until the plants have revealed where they're going to surface. Best just weed by hand at first.
I agree. Mulching with a weed-seed-free compost (such as a commercial bagged one) is the best way to suppress weeds in an asparagus bed, then no hoeing is required.
Does anyone know the answer please
