Can You Grow Asparagus in a 5 Gallon Container?

Asparagus is one of my favorite spring vegetables. It is a reliable perennial that comes up year after year, so lots of people love to grow it. However, if you do not have the room for a typical garden bed, have poor soil, are just love container gardening, you may wonder if you can grow it in containers.

So, can you grow asparagus in a 5 gallon bucket? Yes you can, but I’m afraid it is far from ideal to do so, and your asparagus will probably not live long.

Asparagus as I mentioned before is a perennial, so it comes back year after year. It grows fast and has a large root system that makes it hard to grow in a 5 gallon bucket or a container. Over wintering is another concern, along with it getting enough nutrients.

You will want the largest container you can find, so a 5 gallon bucket might not be ideal.
