Well I went out to my asparagus patch yesterday evening and I couldn't stand the weeds an grass that has taken over my three new rows of asparagus I planted last year and this year.
So I decided to use the push mower and mow off the asparagus along with the weeds and grass. I then spread salt and fertilizer on top of the soil and set my tiller at 2" and tilled it all in. We'll see what happens. My asparagus is planted 8-10" deep so I have a good feeling it will be shooting up new sprouts that weren't contacted by the tines of the tiller.
