When these get started producing, how many spears can I expect from each root crown? I'm trying to decide if 10 plants is enough for a family of 5.

We just planted them summer of 2014 so don't know the yield yet. Each root should yield 5-8 stalks and then double yearly.

We just planted these summer of 2014 si we don't know the yield yet. They are supposed to yield 5-8 stalks per root the first year and double yearly

Not for a very long time. Mine haven't started producing yet (we're in less than ideal climate) but I'm concerned that my husband and I will need more plants if we want to eat asparagus more than once a season. I would get two packages, maybe even two kinds, for a larger family.

Whoa! "Depends!"If you have the right (somewhat sandy) soil and plant them in the prepared (according to directions) soil, and if you keep the weeds out - you should get a good amount of shoots from each plant. That is after about two or three years. Do not cut the shoots in the first year - although tempting. A family of 5? - you will get plenty of asparagus for a while in the Spring - then it slows down. Someone will need to harvest them about every other day. If you go too long they grow to large (and tough) to eat.

I'd personally go with two but one will be enough if your just germinating ... If your vegging in that area it's better if you get two .. Although one will work , just may have to keep it a bit closer than if you had two ..

Yes! That's how they are supposed to arrive. Plant the whole crown, with just the tiny dried sticks above the dirt (if there are any). I planted mine in May and had fruit in the fall. They are already fruiting for this year.

the directions say 1-3 for potted plants. They are smaller than I expected, but they do a good job in potted plants, though...but for in the large ground gardens, they would be cost prohibitive.

Connie, I went online and asked for a schedule to plant mine. Worked out fine, as this is the second year, and out of ten, I have eight doing well. I am letting them do their thing this year, and should have some good eating this next year. Janet

About 10-12 seeds.Look healthy . I planted 6 - only one came up after 4-6 weeks. I think I made the mistake putting in the seed in the soil the wrong way - the little pointed end should be put in the soil. keep seed pots in a tray of water. Good Luck.

In my opinion - - expect around the 4200k area. Unless something has changed lately. I will also say that they still perform very well with the addition of Foliar feeding during Veg, (very nice), dark period will need to be increased. cheers

Okay. Now I know what you mean. It means how much moisture that plant should get. If 5 is full. Then 3 should be more than the average. You know like the cactus they may just need 1-2 on the other hands like gardina need 3-4.That's how you take care of. Hope this will help.

It depends on the type of plants. Two tomatoes or peppers. More of the smaller types. I currrently have mine full of strawberries, started with six, but they have dropped new plants and I am not sure how many there are. I am picking lots of strawberries!

I planted these last season. I didn't really keep track but I would guess that I twice picked 20 - 40 pods of varying sizes a couple of months apart. I planted mine too close together & in raised beds...not a good idea.

Depending on if u have a lot of sps corals. I have 2 on my 72. U need at least 2 three would be better. They are VERY bright so make sure you acclimate or soft corals can get damaged. Also my anemones did not like the intensity and moved around a lot once I put mine up and got to 100%.

Just make sure the roots are not all skinny ones. They need to be hand picked to make sure you are getting decent sizable roots. Say that in the comments. I did and received wonderful roots

It depends on the plant. It comes with a chart. For example you can do two tomato plants or 10 bean plants.You could plant more smaller plants such as herbs, etc.

Last year, I put 3 pepper plants in one, which worked out fine. I also put 2 tomato plants in another, as stated in other comment, one at each end. They did OK, and they both grew very large, but I'm doing only one per box this year. The root mass was, I think, too large and they seemed crammed when I took down the plants last year. In the instructions, they give you ideas but also say that it's more trial and error. I think the climate conditions have some influence on your results as well. A family member who lives in Vegas, NV, had poor results because of the extreme heat.

Harvey, Sorry I can't give you a good answer since I am an amatuer gardener. I only planted about 10 - 15 plants. I grew them in Los Angeles and they grew quite well. I don't remember how many pods per plant, but there were enough to make it worth while. And, the flavor was excellent, despite growing them in L.A. instead of the perfect climate in New Mexico. These seeds were very easy to grow and take care of. I definately recommend them. Good luck.

Just got ours and haven't set it up yet, but it looks like it would handle just 1 plant.

Hundreds, if not a thousand. If you give them fertilizer and light, in a few weeks you'll have a lot more.
