Conflicting Info Regarding Companion Planting Strawberries/asparagus

I read an article on your website about companion planting for asparagus that strawberries were included as part of the good companions list however I read an article on another website (https://strawberryplants.org/strawberry-companion-plants/) that said that asparagus is a bad choice as a companion plant because these two plants compete for nutrients in the soil and stunt each other’s growth. Now I’m confused. Which website is accurate?

Strawberries and asparagus are a very common planting combination within the gardening community.

The only thing that I recommend doing slightly differently when planting them together is to plant the asparagus a couple of inches deeper than you would, normally. They will tolerate a deeply buried crown, and this will give the strawberries some more soil space at the surface for its own roots.
