The short answer I suppose is, Yes.  However,  the growing season this year is at least 2 weeks behind last year. My summer raspberries are in bud, but I shall defer feeding until they in leaf. Later on they will have a potash feed to promote good flowering.

Yep

This is what the RHS says
Quote
In early March annually apply Growmore or naturally slow-release general fertiliser, fish, blood and bone for example, at 34g per sq m (1oz per sq yd), then mulch with well-rotted organic matter. If the growth is weak, apply sulphate of ammonia at 34g per sq m (1oz per sq yd) or dried poultry manure pellets at 100g per sq m (3oz per sq yd).

To be honest I tend to give them a little home made compost and some chicken pellets (in a rahter haphazard fashion) - usually works out ok for me.

Pip pip,

Dried chicken poo is what I use on my autumn raspberries - did it about a week ago, covered with a mulch of spent compost.

They might get a bit more in summer if I remember.  ;)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
