Serious? 2' deep rabbit manure?

I planted for the first time, but already had some serious rockin soil set up. It supposedly likes heavy OM soil, no more than 6" deep. I'd use native soil and put lots of amendment on top: shredded leaves, thin layers of grass clippings, 1/2 finished compost, etc.

2 feet of rabbit manure. wow.

Maybe I didn't claify the 2'! Used Rototiller to dig trench shovel it out, rototill shovel etc REASON : next year when I rototill I need not worry about digging up my sparagus roots, 2 inches of rabbit manure, actually more and that was also tilled in as it was added then covered with dirt before adding asparagus.

Tell you what, planted them last weekend, this week the first sprig is above the trench, going to get some straw and peat moss to mix with the soil.

Thanks,

Don't bother with the peat moss. Don't rototill around perrenials- including asparagus. Just keep adding stuff to the top of the soil and it'll amend itself fine.

Shredded leaves, straw, hay, grass clippings, 1/2 finished compost, used coffee grounds, whatever. Peat moss won't do anything those other amendments won't do cheaper.

Asparagus grows really well in the sandy soils just north of me. Oceana County, Mi is one of the major suppliers of Asparagus in the USA and the soil there is sand. Asparagus needs a well drained soil so adding material that would tend to hold too much moisture would not be good. I'd put the original soil back and mulch with those leaves.
