I have 2 blackberry bushes, 1 raspberry bush, strawberries and this upcoming season adding blueberries. The raspberry bush always does very well no matter what. The others, not so much. I have been using Berry Tone, but clearly it's not working for me.

What are some other quality berry fertilizers for these particular berries? Liquid fertilizer preferred if possible.

The blackberry makes on last year's new canes. So after fruiting they get calcium nitrate to promote the building of those canes. Opposite that, in the very early spring I just use a balanced n-p-k to help the berries. Think about it by the function the plant is trying to do and when. (phenologically)

What NPK ratio are you using?
That is an irrelevant question. It makes you flare that I would dare! I get it. But no matter, it is actually only the plant uptake capacity that matters, so I ask you a question? Say you had this plant in a 5 gallon bucket, what quantity can it consume in the monthly march of temps and climate in any given month especially related to temps?
