Hello,
Your website indicates compost is a good fertilizer for raspberries. If the raspberries have been mulched around, would you recommend applying compost on top of the mulch and watering in? Or would using an all purpose 10-10-10 be advisable?
Thanks,

Hi Kyle,
I prefer using compost. rake the mulch off as best you can and add the compost. Throw the mulch back on ( they both serve as a mulch). You can do the same thing with a10-10-10 fertilizer.is fine. In the fall you can add compost and top it with wood bark mulch. You don't need lots, about two inches is enough.
