    Don't tell mine, they're all planted in my usual alkaline soil.


    They're shallow rooted, so you could give them a mulch of leafmould every year

              Agreed. Rich, moist but not saturated soil is paradise for raspberries.
              I've never seen raspberry plants suffer from leaf scorch due to over-feeding (although I'm sure someone will have managed it). Most other fruit plants seem to scorch much more easily than raspberries.
