Step 1 Each bundle contains 10 roots. Wait until soil temperatures have warmed to 50 degrees before planting. They like full sun.
Step 2 – Select an area that has at least 40 square feet to plant. Dig furrow 5 to 6 inches deep. Space about 12 to 16 inches apart. Place them to the bottom of their holes. Fill furrows with soil without packing down. It does not matter if they are not straight up.
Step 3 - Water them thoroughly. Keep top few inches of soil moist in summer. They do not need heavy watering as the roots go deep.
Step 4 The first year let stems develop to grow and fern out without picking or pruning. 
Step 5 – In early spring during the second season, cut back all previous year growth. In late spring and early summer new stems will grow upward and are the edible portion of plants. Harvest at 8 to 10 inches tall. At end of harvest period, snap off all remaining spears at the ground level.
