We've started the high potash feeds on the Tigerella as it is first to set fruit.
If your raspberry plants are starting to go yellow between the veins and turn brown at the edges don't slosh the remnants of the tomato feed on in the vague hope of addressing a mineral deficiency - like we numpties did. The symptoms are the plants clearly communicating they require magnesium, toute de suite! We learned in our internet research later that we'd made conditions worse by watering with high-potassium tomato feed as plants will absorb potassium over magnesium. We are now remedying the situation by applying an Epsom salts(magnesium sulphate) foliar feed as per RHS directions. We're not sure whether the raspberries will forgive us.
