Asparagus route Roermond and Meinweg

Asparagus cultivation For white asparagus, the soil around the plant is raised about half a meter, so that the shoot finds its way up to the light, and the shoot can be harvested before it can reach the surface. Asparagus fields are often covered with plastic. This has the dual purpose of warming the soil so that the plant grows faster and produces more, and to prevent the heads from discolouring.
