I believe this is the finest way to grow asparagus.

I hope you have bought special organic concrete blocks
(Heh!)

I assume the roots are allowed their full natural spread in the ground
outside the blocks. You mention mowing around the blocks: does this
mean you let other plants grow over the area where the asparagus roots
are seeking water and nutrients? Do you find that under these
conditions your plants are as well-developed as those grown more
conventionally? Of course yours aren't old enough to give a proper
crop yet, so maybe it's too soon to judge.

MIke.
