Grow-vs-buy savings
A Asparagus crowns (pack of 5-10) costs around $25 and takes about 2 years before it produces a meaningful crop. Not a quick payback — but once it's established a asparagus plant returns roughly $60/year in supermarket equivalent (2.5kg × $23.82/kg) and keeps producing for many years.
Before you buy: Buy 2-year-old crowns for fastest harvest. Do not pick in the first year; light harvest in year 2; full harvest from year 3.
Realistic yield: Mature bed of 5-10 crowns yields ~2-4 kg per season; bed productive for 15-20 years.
Ballpark numbers — yield varies by climate, variety, care and luck. Use as a rough indicator, not a business plan.
