Grow Your Own / Re: Asparagus Watch!
« Last post by Hampshire Hog on Today at 17:44 »Interesting question I had normally assumed my bent spears were as a result of beetle or slug damage. You are correct though that stones can bend the spears along with wind. I would be very careful about shifting soil around them at present.
As I say I get some bent spears but I normally just cut them off and discard them. If you wish you can keep them for soup of course. I would be tempted to hold off for a couple of seasons to let the plants get well established and then consider stone removal if you are getting a lot of bent spears then. Good luck HH
