Salt on Asparagus
« on: September 21, 2006, 17:50 »
I have two rows of asparagus on my allotment, growing well and tasting fantastic - but I'm plagued by perennial weeds growing in amongst the asparagus.

I've heard that adding horticultural salt to the ground around asparagus will kill the perennial weeds and won't harm the asparagus as it is naturally a coastal plant. I don't want to try it and kill the plants though (and never heard of anywhere selling 'horticultural salt'.

Anybody tried it before, or suggest another method to keep the weeds down?

Weeding?  Works wonders.  Good for the soul too.
