This year I am planning my permanent raised bed for asparagus (one third), globe artichokes (middle third) and rhubarb (end third).
I was watching a thing on Countryfile recently and the asparagus beds that the bloke was growing on were really really sandy.
Does anybody have experience of what is the best sand to use for Asparagus? or whether it is really necessary? I can get builders sand delivered by the tonne but I expect that's going to be too claggy. The bed itself will be 150cm by about 3m long so buying bagged horticultural sand is probably going to be prohibitively expensive.
Any suggestions?
