Topic: Feeding apples, raspberries and blueberries

[davholla]

I have chicken manure pellets, sulfate of potash and turbobooster.
What should I feed to above fruits and when (I guess ASAP).

I just chuck a bit of growmore at them in March... 

[davholla]

Do you know what nutrients it contains?

[Tee Gee]

I do the same as Saddad.

Grow more is a balanced fertiliser 7-7-7 as I recall and it does enough to get the plants up and running then when they flower you can consider a high potash feed to plump up the fruit.

Thank you all.

blueberries id feed a small amount of sulphate of iron twice a year  sulphate of potash will do the rest this will encourage flowering and fruit set but any balanced fertilizer will do the job as the others have said

I still have chicken manure pellets from last year, so I shall be using them for all my fruit bushes and trees - just waiting for a day that isn't too wet and windy! If there are any left they will be spread over the squash bed prior to the plants going in towards the end of May.

Blueberries require an acidic fertiliser, such as  an ericaceous fertiliser. Chicken pellets are alkaline.

Just as well I don't have any blueberries then!
