- If you’re ready to plant, soak the roots in water or compost tea for about 20 minutes.
- Dig a trench about 1 foot deep, and plant each crown so that the top of the crown is about 4 inches from the soil’s surface.
- Space crowns in trench about 2 feet apart.
- After several weeks, you will want to add a few more inches of dirt once everything has settled. The crowns need to remain completely covered by soil.
- Apply mulch over entire area to keep weeds down and to help insulate the soil.
- Water regularly.
- Fertilize in the spring with a 10-10-10 fertilizer.
- Mulch entire area again in the winter to help protect your future crop.
