Supposedly asparagus takes two years to start producing. So some people will start their gardens with one-year-old crowns, as they are called. (Supposedly two-year-old crowns aren't as successful.)
Then when they start producing, you harvest them sparingly for the first couple of years. But somewhere around year 5, you can start taking more, and the plants keep producing for about 15 or 20 years.
I transported a lot of compost and some manure into our backyard. Our house used to be beachfront property ... a few thousand years ago. Lake Michigan is now about half a mile away but we still have a lot of sand. We have a nice compost site about a mile away though which we can use for free, so that helped.
If you're a racist, I probably have you on ignore.
