Cutting foliage and winter care

The foliage gradually dies and the asparagus has stored the nutrients in the roots. 
It is now time to cut the foliage and build the winter dam. Incorporating the foliage also covers the fungal spores and prevents early infection, especially in two year old plants.
Before the winter dam is constructed, it is possible to carry out maintenance liming.
To determine the potential of the plant, the "BRIX value" can be determined.
