I dug a trench using my troy bilt horse. Till and remove loose dirt till I got down 2 feet. Then I went to the river with my speargun and shot a mess of carp and brought them back to place in the bottom of the trench. I added composted horse manure,Blood meal and bone meal and soft phosphate rock to the loose dirt on the side of the trench and mixed it with the tiller. Then I backfilled to cover the fish and made mounds to spread the roots over them evenly and back filled to 1" above the crowns.As the tips emerged I continued to back fill till the loose dirt was all on top of the crowns. They say 3 years before harvest but with all the amendments I was picking in 2 years and it is a very healthy stand of asparagus. Lot of work pays off in the end
