Asparagus - anything! As thick as possible. Straw, grass clippings, weeds...As long as it is not a solid barrier (like weed fabric), the asparagus will grow through it.

I have wondered abut mulching the asparagus. What do you use, how thick?

Tara,
They do indeed. I find when I start to dig into the grass I loosen the dirt and follow the root, continuously loosening as I go till I can get the whole thing. That's how I get it all and keep it out.

Connie,
I like your style. I have to dig flowers up and clean them before replanting to get the grass out of a flower bed. If I get my beds the way I want them then I do mulch. I like the bark chips. Cypress will hold onto itself but it's not pretty so I only use it under the grapes. I have a long line of them and it's cheaper.
LOVE the picture! Beautiful bed and cat!
