Q.Planting One Plant In A Plot Used By Another Plant
I want to try planting asparagus. I’ll be using biggish black fabric tubs. Two of the tubs are brand new and will have new raised bed dirt – organic – in them. Three tubs have had tomatoes in them this summer and one has grown green onions. Will the former plants cause trouble for the new asparagus crowns? I’m already hobbled somewhat by a lack of sunlight, but my garden gets enough to yield tomatoes, sweet banana peppers, cucumbers, radishes, carrots, ginger, but not potatoes. It is a very small space in the middle of my front yard in town, if that matters. Thanks so much for your help.
