Never heard of salt on Asparagus beds before probably because its a bad idea - used to be prescribed for killing weeds. https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/vegetables/asparagus/salt-on-asparagus-weeds.htm
Were you looking at a seed companies website from 1930 ? :)

I made a bit of booboo. I have no idea how I thought salt would help.
I went back and watched the video again. No mention of salt.
We did another couple of hours today. My wife was weeding and I was putting gravel into our new asparagus bed for additional drainage due to heavy clay soil.
No added salt

I know! I can’t wait. I love asparagus. I spent the after with my wife at out plot today. She has been weeding and hella job she does too. I dug a path and then use the soil from the path to pile up a permanent raised bed for said asparagus.
I was on a seed companies website and they advise adding salt to the soil. Apparently they are a marshy plant🤷🏼♂️
