Lesson learned: Look up the F:B ratio required by a plant

Dr. Elaine Ingham says, "Asparagus likes mostly bacteria, very little fungus."

Nyohhhh!!!  Is this why my asparagus didn't grow?  I inoculated them with mycorrhizal fungi.  :(

Why?  Because this list said it was ok.

But this list doesn't list asparagus.

Oh well.  Lesson learned... though I'd need to repeat the experiment to see if the results are the same.
