Thanks Ali! I’m almost 70 and today thanks to you I now know what a Praying Mantis egg looks like. Ten thousand thumbs up!

[@Alisorganics]

🙏🏼 we’ve had so many praying mantis this year!

[@Jared_Albert]

Thank you for the full and yet concise overview!

[@chelseaoliver8165]

What great information. I learned a lot of new things about asparagus that i didn't know. Thank you!

[@Alisorganics]

Our pleasure!

[@LisaCrutcher]

Great video! Thank you. You're meant to teach, madam. That's why you never had an accent affixed to your spirit. You're configured to do commercials, too, on a grander scale. You have the gift of wisdom, of the 9, and the gift of discerning spirits.

Glad you enjoyed it. We try to have fun.

[@rusted5408]

Question: do you ever thin them out? Ive got a raised bed of asparagus ive had for 15 years. It doesnt seem tp produce a lot. Ive heard i need to tear it apart and replant them but WOW can you imagine them all intertwined?

[@Alisorganics]

Yes! After three years and if they are overgrown and the spears are small. Do it after they have gone dormant.

[@rusted5408]

@@Alisorganics thanks. I'll do that this fall.

[@45valk]

I’ve been growing asparagus since I was a kid. Their really low maintenance to be honest

[@rusted5408]

Have you ever.separated them and started.over? Mine seem to not produce as I think they should be after 10 years. I see in japan theu dig them up, separate, and replant.

[@45valk]

@@rusted5408 I sure would imagine so. Make sure to get good roots when you dig them up.
