Asparagus not growing?

5 years ago

My asparagus bed is almost 4 years old. Last year it produced some asparagus, but not in clumps, but single spears. I let them go to ferns, which I have done each year. I cut them back last fall, left about an inch on a diagonal cut, gave them some compost. This spring we've already had temperatures in the 70s and yet all I'm getting are a few isolated spears. What am I doing wrong, or is there something else I could be doing to encourage more growth?
