Default Asparagus weak?

Have you added fertilizer? The best asparagus I have grown was in a raised
bed, filled with about 8 inches of cow manure, 2 inches of dirt, the
asparagus roots, and then another 6 inches of dirt/compost as they came up.
Then I sprinkle more aged cow manure on top in February, or a well rounded
fertilizer.

My asparagus is in its second year but most plants are only a couple
of inches high, a few a little six inch bushes. Is this normal?
