Botanical family
Asparagaceae
1 plants
The asparagus family. Represented by asparagus — perennial (15+ years in one spot), wants deep sandy soil. Harvest May-June, then let it rest.
Crop rotation
For Asparagaceae: rotate the spot every 1-2 years; don't follow with the same family the next year. Legumes (beans, peas) are a safe predecessor in most cases.
Nutrient distribution
How many plants in this family are how hungry for nutrients. Raised-bed soil exhausts quickly after heavy feeders — follow with nitrogen-fixers.
