Jessica,

Here the asparagus turns yellow after a frost, then they get cut back and the fronds are chipped for our compost.

Turning yellow just means they've completed their growing cycle for the year. We only use our own compost to feed them.

You can wait for other responses but I wouldn't be feeding them when they want to sleep until spring.
