According to my Master Gardener friend, Jim Griffin, the roots of an old,
established black walnut will continue to affect the area for up to 15 years
after the tree is cut up for mirror frames or cuckoo clocks.

Spare Gus is *very* labour intensive to get going. You have to get the root
bundles buried to the proper depth. IIRC that depth is about 18". The
University of Illinois has a good treatise on-line if you are interested ...
lots of good information at: urbanext.illinois.edu/veggies/asparagus.cfm
