In Tasmania, farmer Richard Weston wants to provide his countrymen with the finest white asparagus. For ten years, he has been working with “White Tasmanian Asparagus”. In order for this to be successful, it requires not only the climatic conditions and the right soil, but a lot of knowledge as well.
Tasmania appears to be suitable for the cultivation of this vegetable, due to the climate and soil conditions. But in addition to special machinery, the correct cultivation technology is particularly important. This also includes precisely calculated dams, in which the vegetables grow underground and whose temperature must be regulated with special tarps. Of course, harvesting is painstakingly done by hand, even in Tasmania.
