9. Constructing the mounds between the rows of asparagus and fruit shrubs

Using my garden planner, it looks like I can make about 15 mounds, spaced 8' apart with 5 mounds in 3 sperate rows.

The mounds will be about 18" in diameter and I plan to build them about 4" high. To get the proper height and enrich the mounds, I'll need to add a 3/4 of a cubic foot of composted manure to each mound. Fortunately, composed manure can be had in 3/4 of a cubic foot bags so getting the correct number of bags and adding the correct amount I need for each mound will be a simple task. 15 bags and 1 bag for each mound.

Hopefully this works as getting the plants that take would take up a lot of space in the main garden, even just for a few of them, and being able to plant enough to get a good sized harvest would be worth the try.
