Is it possible to move an established asparagus bed?

Question:

Is it possible to move an established asparagus bed?

Answer:

The roots of established asparagus plants are deep and quite extensive.  As a result, transplanting attempts are usually unsuccessful.  Large, old plants will be severely injured during the transplantation procedure.  Some may actually die.  Those that survive may never produce a good crop.  The best way to establish an asparagus planting is to purchase one-year-old plants or crowns from a garden center or mail-order nursery.
