Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Hi there and welcome.
Asparagus is a crop that stays where you plant it.
Enrich the soil with plenty of Aged Manure and rock powders. 
Sand added to clay will give you BRICKS when the weather drys out.
You need to added organic matter.  Work in leaves and mulch the crowns
with lots of straw.
