Growing Asparagus

09 Oct 10 pete - north brisbane (Australia - sub-tropical climate)
i planted my asparagus about 4 years ago. it has not really performed well at all. it is well fed with rotted horse manure every year, and i cut the fronds back in late winter. this year about half the crowns died. would they have died because i cut them back or is it as i suspect just too warm here for asparagus? any advice welcomed
