I planted thoenless blackberry, black raspberry , and red raspberry bushes they came as roots mostly from a online nursery. I am seeing some new growth coming out of the ground but wondered if I should fertilize them ? If so when and how often , also is fish emulsion as good as miracle grow?
do I fetilize berry bushes?

When you first plant, look for a fertilizer that will work on root growth, then after a year, go for a mix that also includes top growth. I would use organize fertilizers versus Miracle Grow and also add in compost into the soil. Check with a local nursery about which fertilizers and ratioa work in your area.
