RE: [gardeners] community garden plot

I took over my third community garden plot a couple of months back. It had
not been used for many years
but it had a lot of blackberry canes and (believe it or not) some
asparagus.What I have done is
set aside a part of the plot for blackberry. I plan to move some of the
canes to this area,
so that I can use the remaining plot for other veggies. It is a little
difficult to remove any
berry plants, since they are deep rooted. I have left alone the asparagus
crown and roots.
Hope this helps.

Asparagus can be cut back once it's turned brown. You might want to mark
where it is so you don't accidentally step on the new spears in the spring.
I put some compost on ours in late winter.
