I started growing a 1/2 acre 15 yrs ago. I sell about 350-400 lbs a year. and give away a bunch too. I'm certainly no expert. High sandy ground is best. I have heavy clay loam and was warned it would suffer and it does, but I had this square of land sitting idle. Planting it is easy but certain steps should be followed. there is lots on net about this. Most important is planting deep enough in a trench and filling gradually as season progresses. Fertilizer cannot hurt it, it can touch right on the crowns. As anyone familiar will attest, Crown Rot is its biggest downfall and has no cure. Weeds are a constant battle and keeping grass from crowding it out when its just starting is important. i have been carefully using roundup around the plants but it is labor intensive. Chickweed is a real problem in my area, too. I have since plowed up about half and they say to wait two yrs before replant. If I didn't like eatin it so much I probably wouldn't be workin so hard at it.

The main focus of this page is to show how I upgr
