Re: Asparagus

I would say yes. The composted material will make excellant mounding 
since asparagus is such a voracious feeder. I wouldn't put it on too 
heavy. You must be a Z6 in PA. I am a Z5a and we don't compost to protect 
the asparagus but I put lots of food(read chicken doo) in the fall for 
the spring harvest. Wood ashes and powdered rock phosphate also help make 
for thicker spears.
