: : non-idione salt to your established (15 year) asparagas bed? If so, how much and do you mix with water or just add on top of the dirt and then gently rake in?KAY: What are you trying to accomplish? Why add salt while in the ground, I thought you did that after or during cooking. I'm not familiar with this practice. MVG Plant Dr.
I thought at some time in the past someone had made this comment to me and since my production was down from normal last season, I thought that might be the problem!!
Kay, I know a fellow that says he puts about 100lbs. of rock salt a year on his 20'X 20'patch just to keep the weeds out. He says it kills everything but the asparagas and crabgrass...
