Default Asparagus weak?

Mike,

Sounds like you have a real problem, I've finished cutting mine and what's
left is reaching for the sky and the tallest is four feet high and in its
second year.

Does your asparagus get enough water?

Is it planted too deeply? (I suspect one or two of my plants are too deep
and they are a bit spindly. I think I might dig them up and replant
shallower if others think this might help.)

What's the depth of soil? My plants are in a raised bed and the soil was
sifted through 1/2 inch chicken wire first and is over 18 inches deep.

Have your plants plenty of food?

I look forward to comments from others.

Regards

Ron

of inches high, a few a little six inch bushes. Is this normal?
