Son's place came with previous tenant's attempt at vegetable gardening including a small asparagus patch - maybe started with a pack of 5-6 roots, there are that many big stalks, but loaded with a coarse, tall grass with really tough roots. Is there any wisdom you can share on dealing with that grass? Is it not worth the fight? The ground is rather stony, reddish, clay based. Could really use a load of old manure.. would that help smother/soften the grass?
