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.

thankyou very much for the confidence boost,we have more manure to put on top after they are planted,and before the leaves mulch,hope i can get down this next 2 days,or i will have to heel them in the ground,just till next week,
