How can I successfully transplant asparagus to a new location?

To successfully transplant asparagus to a new location, dig up the asparagus crowns carefully, making sure to keep the roots intact. Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil for the new location. Plant the crowns in a trench, covering the roots with soil and spacing them about 18 inches apart. Water the transplanted asparagus regularly and mulch around the plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
