Check archives for discussion on salt for asparagus.
You might contact someone like Jersey Asparagus for info.
White clover is a b**** to weed out of asparagus.

Subject: [Market-farming] asparagus weed control with salt
I have a large asparagus patch, and weeds are always a problem. I planted
white clover, but it's not very aggressive and where I live, 4b, it winter
kills in patches. I seem to remember my mother salting her patch to kill
weeds, banking on the deep roots of the asparagus to be unaffected. Has
anyone tried this? Does it work? How much do you use? Rock salt or can I
use livestock granular salt?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
