I had a lot of small skinny plants and I found a site that said to add more soil so I hilled the aspargus rows. They were originally planted 8-10 inches deep (Indiana)...per directions at garden center. I have 24 plants and barely got enough spears for 2 skimpy servings...is this normal, is the hilling corect? My directions said to only harvest for 4 weeks the 3rd year so my plants are starting to fern out. Should I dig them up this fall and start over, knock down the hills, or increase the soil in-between the hills?
