Can this type of asparagus be grown in a large container for a couple of years?

I planted mine asparagus in a raised bed, approx. 6 ft x 7 ft. The crowns are 10 inches deep. I started getting asparagus the first year but did not harvest any. This is the second year and I get a few almost every day. MG.

They like about a foot deep root system + 6" above, so if you have something 18" wide and 18" deep it will work. Plenty of fertilizer mixed with soil and pea gravel would work well. Drape roots over a volcano like mound to spread the roots out. The main thing would be to bring indoors during the cold months.

I encourage you to do your own research on the web since I'm a newbie at this. Mine will probably not survive the necessary 2 years, because I live in a mediterranean climate and it likes growing in indirect sunlight along side mountain streams and well drained soil.

Recognizing that this is a fairly inexpensive choice I would still answer yes to your question although I think to prolong its life you might consider taking it down and storing it for the summer months. I built a treated lumber deck for mine and use the greenhouse store my outdoor potted plants during the winter months. I bought an inexpensive ceramic heater and put it in the greenhouse surrounded on the bottom and three sides by common bricks to shield the heater from combustible materials. This is my 2nd year and so far very pleased. Depending on where you set it up you will have to anchor it so it doesn't blow away in storms.

It isn't marked clearly but looks like it might be good for 2 years. It must be refrigerated after opening.

my best by date was only 1 year, but I think it would last longer. The taste is great and you wouldn't mind using it all before the year is up, but if you are thinking of long term storage I'm not sure. Maybe if you put in glass jars with an oxygen absorber it would last longer .

Yes but be mindful of the size.. I live in boston,outside during may to june..inside during the winter months..keep by a window.. My plant is 7 ft tall now.. Good luck

I don't see why not. Plant roots that need extra depth would grow more horizontally. I had a container garden before I used Gtonomics and I was able to grow a variety of plants and vegetables. It would simply become a very large container.

I would think the mason jar would work fine, but I enjoy the ease of cleaning that the two part Prepworks allows. It is also taller than a mason jar which allows me to store whole asparagus and tall parsley.

Hello, I have always planted my asparagus roots within 24hours of receiving them, so I don't have any experience with refridgerating them. I however have refridgerated tree root plants for a week or so in the refridgerator and not had issues. I have placed and rolled up the roots in a damp paper towel & placed them loosely in a walmart bag, but never sealed it as I didn't want them to get moldy. Hope some of this info helps you, good luck!

Depending on how much it has grown it may be time to put it in a 6 inch pot pr wait till spring to do it .

hey tom, the plants I bought are doing well and plan to buy some more, however they are still maturing and wont produce beans for a couple years yet.

never tried, but I would think that asparagus would be too thin and would not fit on the spike and if it did it would snap under the pressure required to slice

You can grow in any pot that I bought it from dollar store. As long as the pot has a hole at the bottom, you will be fine//:)

Hello, Yes you can grow hardy Chicago fig in a container, they do good in containers. Almost and plant can be grown in containers. What happens is bigger the container the bigger your plant becomes. What you can do if it is grow taller than you want you can cut it to size you want and then just keep it cut to just how tall you want it. If it gets to bushy you can also cut it back to a size you like, but if you like it as a bush it is good to also cut center out to allow air movement through tree, do not have to but it will be good for plant but like I said you do not need to. I hope this helps you and if I can help more feel free to ask me any questions and I will try to help you if I can. I do enjoy growing plants and have all kinds, right now my citrus trees are in bloom and I have had them in pots for years. I put them outside in summer in house in winter and there doing great, must say to pick fresh from trees is the best, always better tasting then ones you buy from store no matter if it is figs, oranges, tangerines, what-ever you have taste for you can pretty much grow as house plant in a pot, just need a sunny window. Oh maybe I should also tell you when moving plant outside in summer to put plant in place that gets and little by little give it more sun, if you put it out in full sun it will probable burn it, you need to adjust it slowly until it can take full sun. Cloudy days it a great way to start and you can set it in open and in a week or two of off and on sun should be able to take full sun. I have been already been putting mine outside in day-time and bring it in at night because days are 50 to 60 degrees and night still freeze so I bring it in. You will do good. :))

Hi Jimmie,I haven't tried doing this, but my guess is the heat mat would put out too much heat and the plants may resume growth. You could try one of two things. 1) If you insisted on using the seedling mat, you could purchase the thermostat that is compatible with it and try to control the temperature that way. 2) You could dig a hole in the ground, but down some straw then the asparagus crowns and then more straw and finally cover just the surface with soil. The depth of the hole would have to be below your frost line.

Yes any of these will grow bigger with time. You can always pot up these cactus so that they have the room to growShop Succulents

It seems it's at least 2 years, so patience is needed! Ours is outside in a pot right now and growing pretty nicely! Have to take it inside for winter, though.
