Hello. I have a laundry to landscape systems with 5 mulch basins that waters asparagus, with a mulberry and loquat nearby. It’s been at least 2 years since I’ve cleaned/replenished the woodchips in mulch basins :/. I HAVE cleaned out inside the irrigation box and tested to make sure the water flows. A couple years ago I also put some rocks in the mulch basin, but there aren’t really much chips left, it’s mostly rocks, soil and roots. I’m curious what folks think about still using the system this year. Now with the plants growing I can’t do the basin maintenance without crushing them, will have to wait until winter. The main thing on my mind is the plant roots that will be in contact with the water and mostly concerned/wondering if that could harm the plants. I know asparagus like to grow near ditches but they don’t want standing water. I know the water will drain, but the roots could be in direct contact with water for let’s say an hour max, likely less. (When I do the mulch basin maintenance in the future I’ll cut the roots.)
