Kind of. What I do is dig a trench about 18"X18" the length of the row, till up the bottom of it, lay in the drip irrigation line, plant the leeks, and back fill the trench as the leeks grow. While I like the rate and ways in which Europeans eat leeks, I'm not crazy about their white asparagus. I've got a big asparagus patch, but when I pick it and eat it, it's the way God meant it to be: green.
