A well-kept asparagus patch produces for 15–20 years, but only if you feed the crowns, not just the spears. This 4-6-4 is built for that. Its nitrogen is split — of the 4% total, 2.5% is water-insoluble and released slowly by soil microbes, with 1.5% water-soluble for early green-up — so it feeds through the season without burning asparagus's shallow feeder roots. The 6% phosphate supports the root systems and crown structure that store next year's energy, and the 4% potash supports stress tolerance and the carbohydrate storage that drives future spear production.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eAsparagus has a rhythm, and this feed follows it. The first feeding goes down in early spring, just before the spears push up, so nutrients are ready the moment growth starts. The second — the one gardeners most often skip and shouldn't — goes down after the final harvest, as the ferns take over: those ferns photosynthesize all summer to refill the crowns with the carbohydrates that become next spring's spears. Feed the fern, and you feed next year's harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003eOne ingredient note: this blend contains animal protein meals and bone char, so it is not a vegan product, and like other bone- and protein-based feeds it can attract pets; incorporate it and store it securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStrong spring spears — \u003c\/b\u003eBalanced nutrition timed to early spring fuels vigorous, uniform spear emergence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHealthy crowns and roots — \u003c\/b\u003e6% phosphate supports the root systems and crown structure that store the energy behind every future harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"mso-list: Ignore;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font: 7.0pt 'Times New Roman';\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c!--[endif]--\u003e\u003cb\u003eBuilds next year's harvest — \u003c\/b\u003e4% potash supports fern growth and the carbohydrate reserves crowns build for next season — feed the fern, feed next year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSlow-release, non-burning — \u003c\/b\u003eThe 2.5% water-insoluble nitrogen releases slowly through microbial breakdown — steady feeding with no burn on shallow asparagus roots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eFor a long-lived bed — \u003c\/b\u003eAsparagus beds last 15–20 years; this feeds the long game, building soil biology in permanent beds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eResilience over the years — \u003c\/b\u003eBetter stress tolerance through heat and drought, and steadier harvests over many seasons.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin-bottom: 6.0pt;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhere to use it: \u003c\/strong\u003eestablished and new perennial asparagus beds — and it suits other perennial vegetable plantings on the same near-neutral, well-drained soil asparagus prefers.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Old Cobblers Farm","offers":[{"title":"5 lbs","offer_id":41560543002757,"sku":"3K-W6Y6-VHC9","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"10 lbs","offer_id":41560542904453,"sku":"LT-RUXO-B5YN","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"15 lbs","offer_id":41560542937221,"sku":"TQ-PX1S-EEML","price":45.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 lbs","offer_id":41560542969989,"sku":"HQ-6SN5-R5C8","price":55.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/3573\/9781\/files\/OldCobblersFarm_WickedOrganicsAsparagus_52.jpg?v=1774863737","url":"https:\/\/theoldcobblersfarm.com\/products\/https-theoldcobblersfarm-com-products-old-cobblers-farm-wicked-organic-asparagus-fertilizer-_pos-1-_sid-4af06d5a5-_ss-r","provider":"Old Cobblers Farm","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
