They often get only 4 to 5 feet high, but if well fed, can reach 8 to 9 feet in height. You can also double crop asparagus by planting a tall vining cherry tomato such as Matt's Wild cherry tomato in the bed and let it climb among the cloud of asparagus foliage. The sparce tomato foliage doesn't reduce the production of asparagus. Also, if you live in a rainy climate, you can scatter small amounts of salt on the bed to discourage weed growth. Asparagus is a salt marsh plant and can tolerate higher salt levels than most weeds
