Transplanting an Asparagus Bed to a New Home

Late fall is an excellent time to move asparagus. Cut back the ferns at the base. Soak the bed daily for two days to soften the soil. Use a spading fork to lift crowns with as much root mass as possible. Replant in the new, organically amended bed, spreading roots outward. No fertilizer needed now; begin feeding next spring for future harvests.
