Easy Garden Extension
For the past two seasons I have extended my back yard garden a few feet. I have been wanting to create an Asparagus bed for years and decided it was now or never! Asparagus is a perennial vegetable and needs a permanent place to get established and grow. In fact, I have read that you plant it once and enjoy it for 20 years! This Easy Garden Extension will show you how I did it.
The prep for this Easy Garden Extension began in the fall when I covered the area I wanted to extend with thick black plastic, the type used for a vapor barrier in a crawl space. This will kill the grass in the area and make the soil much easier to till.
In the spring, all I needed was my Mantis Tiller and my husband! Yep, that REALLY makes it a lot easier! Actually, I could have done this myself and have many times, but I had the misfortune of fracturing my elbow. My job was to pick up rocks with my good arm!
