Hello. have some nice Raspbery canes growing but some of the leaves have started to turn yellow, have fed them with fruit food but with no inprovement, any body help please

One very likely reason is that they are drying out. The forecast rains should do them good, try to mulch them after a good soaking.

You could also think of gradually move your patch by planting up suckers, if it is too exposed to sun and winds.

My raspberries are looking a little crisp and yellow at the top of the canes, I have put this down to the dry conditions. Even the nettles are wilting and grass is going brown. Rain on its way I hope!, missed all of it so far. I have watered them every few days since I noticed and mulched with grass clippings, seems to have helped.

Feeding with manure or manure tea is much better than fertilizer. And mulching is definitely a good idea. Once we get our next heavy rain, I'm layering on loads of shredded leaves and straw on top of the manure I've just flung over the plot.

Lol I was going to suggest the opposite, we have had so much rain even my 3" deep tray is close to overflowing!!

The worst of all is alternating waterlogging and drought. Over time, many plants roots can adapt to one or the other but not both in close succession.

Yes, both ends can cause yellowing of leaves, but let's just say, raspberries were very good last season.
