The asparagus grows in open, solar places on the fertilized soil. The crop is reaped only for the third year on spring, and before it is necessary to look after escapes: to water, loosen and hill.
Instruction
1. Asparagus – exotic vegetable culture which can quite be grown up on the seasonal dacha. In this plant set of the most valuable and most useful substances, in particular, vitamins A, With, In and minerals. Especially it was fallen in love to fans of healthy power supply. And how the asparagus grows?
2. The plant "loves" the open, solar places protected from winds. This culture can quite be cultivated also under trees as it yields harvest in the early spring when on them there is no foliage yet. It is possible to grow up asparagus seeds or in the vegetative way. The asparagus is two-blast furnace culture: men's plants have the greatest efficiency therefore for mortgaging of long-term plantations it is necessary to use them and to discard female plants.
3. The top yield can be reaped at cultivation of asparagus in the seedling way. Before crops wet seeds for two three days in warm water, then dry and sow on depth of 3 cm in a row. In 2–3 weeks there will be first shoots which need to be watered, loosened, deleted regularly weeds and to feed up phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, dung water or bird's dung. The plant needs to be prepared for frosts – to cut off on 10 cm from earth surface, to hill rhizome the soil, and to cover with humus sphere in the fall.
4. In two years seedling can be dug out and replaced in the place prepared and enriched with organomineral mix. Plant seedling in the first half of May or in the second half of August, deepening it the surfaces of the soil are 15-20 cm lower and maintaining distance between plants in 30–35 cm. It is necessary to look after two-year plants as well as seedling, and only for the third year on spring to reap the first crop. Before harvesting of row-spacing to prorykhlit, and it is good to powder plants with the soil.
5. Rows of crests can be covered with black polyethylene or boxes – it will accelerate receiving harvest and will increase quality of escapes. The fact is that green heads of escapes more rough and bitterish on taste, and without light access they turn out white and gentle. At emergence of heads on crest surface the soil it is necessary otgrest, and accurately to cut off escapes not to damage rhizome. After harvesting do not forget to execute earthing up again.
6. In the first years the crop can be reaped for 20–30 days, in the subsequent the productivity will only grow. Though for two years you should not cut off more than 2-4 escapes from one plant, and it is necessary to store them in the fridge no more than two weeks wrapped in damp fabric. From asparagus it is possible to cook various dishes: it is added to wine, garlic, vinegar, marinade, etc.
