    I've never grown asparagus but I think its one of those plants that will spread and you'll have to work to keep it under control. The way to deal with mint is to sink a bucket into the ground and plant the mint in the bucket, you may be able to do something similar with asparagus but I'm sure somone more experienced will be along soon.

    Don't quote me or anything but I think asparagus gets planted in year one and harvest them in year 2. Someone more green-fingered will tell u more I'm sure !
