For red black or purple raspberries he suggests 1 to 2 tablespoons of a complete fertilizer 5-10-5 or similar, side dressed around each plant and lightly cultivated. Strawberries respond to 5-10-5 at 1 pound per 100 square feet, cultivated into the top 2 to 3 inches before planting. Other complete fertilizers are expected to work similarly.
The horticulturist advises placing fruit plantings 50 to 60 feet from large shade trees or windbreaks to reduce competition for nutrients and moisture. Choose well drained soils and fence out livestock, including chickens, using an area that can be fenced alongside the regular vegetable garden.
