Can asparagus be grown in containers? I love asparagus, but I live in an apartment and only have a balcony for growing things. I've never grown asparagus so I'm not sure how much space/depth it requires. I don't want to have to use a container so large it can't be carried up/down stairs, either, since I live on the second floor and anticipate moving eventually...I don't want to live in an apartment forever! :)
