Yes, but it isn't a really a feed - it is a growth stimulant, just as it says on the label.

They'll be ok - but don't expect them to shoot for a while. They have to grow roots before they grow leaves.

2 weeks isn't long - they're hopefully more busy settling their roots in than trying to produce shoots at the moment.

A sprinkling of a general purpose dry fertiliser followed by a mulch of rotted manure or compost is a better way of feeding them - liquid feeds are more of a 'quick fix' than a good way of feeding large outdoor plants like raspberries over the longer term.

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

I like Maxicrop stuff as it can be applied either as a liquid feed or a foliar feed if needed. It's too early to apply it at the moment, but later on it will be beneficial. I would concentrate on applying a good mulch to help the rasps to conserve moisture later on. 
I work very hard so don't expect me to think as well.

I use sulphate of potash around the raspberries in Spring, with a mulch of autumn leaves to help keep moisture in later in the season.

Seems to work OK  :)
