Raspberry Fertilizing Needs. Raspberry fertilizing needs are very basic and not hard to keep up with. Raspberry plant fertilizer should be heavy in nitrogen, although a balanced type is often preferred. For instance, the best fertilizer for raspberry bushes is a 10-10-10 fertilizer or actual nitrogen at a rate of 4 or 5 pounds per 100 feet of row.
Like most garden plants, strawberries prefer a loam soil, a soil-type made up of roughly equal amounts of clay (i.e. microscopic particle size material); sand (small-grain size); and silt, or organic matter (i.e., compost, manure, straw).ne exception: the first number, nitrogen, can be 5 or 10 less than the other numbers if you are using a lot of animal manure in your soil. If you have 5-5-5 fertilizer, you will need 1/8 cup (30 ml) of fertilizer for every strawberry plant per application.
