Re: Asparagus

Susan, 

I'm not much help with your asparagus.  We planted 2 year old roots, 2
years ago and got just a couple of feeds this year.  We applied a good bit
of mulch and manure last fall, and were quite dissapointed with our
results.  It was a very wet cool year here, so maybe that's the problem. 
Any one else out there able to give us some good advice?
