You produced a great tutorial. I've always wondered how it grows. It grew wild on my grandparents farm

If you have enough soil to grow Asparagus it is best to plant them in good drainage soil and as they start to emerge ,hill them higher ,just like Potatoes get hilled if they start to show above ground . In Germany they keep adding soil to the existing trenched Asparagus I believe they use a Tractor and Plow to do this because of the huge size of their Fields but they also cover the Asparagus with sheets of Tarpaulin or the like ! I saw this in Germany in May of 2013 by just observing this from a Train that I was traveling in . The idea of covering the Asparagus with Tarpaulin or Sheets is to stop them from turning Green ! It must be quite a process and time consuming effort to Commercially grow this White Asparagus but it is worth it in the long run ! I was never one for any Asparagus and here in Australia we only get the green shoots in Jars and fresh from the Green Grocer ! I have never seen White Asparagus in Australia but it is available but mainly for the Upper Crust High Society Restaurants . White Asparagus prepared and Cooked properly is absolutely Yummy !My wifey and I found that out in May 2013 . We were both hooked on the Creamy White Asparagus Soup and as a Side Dish with the Main Meal when we tasted it in Germany ! I DO NOT eat Green Asparagus anymore , just waiting till I can find some white one . They don't call it " White Gold " for nothing in Germany in their Asparagus Season ! Here in Australia the season for this Asparagus is from September till January . I Googled it to find that out ! Not very Commercially based though ! The talk is though that Tasmania has the Ideal Soil Conditions for it !

Hey , whittle4u . If any of you understand the German Language , you needto watch their Youtube Videos on how they grow Asparagus . It is white . The Beds are Hilled and covered with White Plastic . I had White Asparagus with a White Sauce as a side dish with my main meal in a Restaurant in Germany in May 2013 . I will never go back to eating that Green Asparagus . The White one Tastes Phenomenal . It tastes a Hell of a lot better than the Green one ever did . Try it . Check it out , even if you Do Not understand the German Language, just watch the Video . " Spargel - Anbau bis zur Ernte ". Or something like that .
