We are on limestone here and our soil is highly alkaline, yet blackberries grow everywhere. You really shouldn't need to feed blackberries, even cultivated ones. I'd just give them a good mulch of well rotted compost to keep moisture in and to give them a nice slow feed. Anything else would be a waste of money and might mean lots more leafy growth and fewer fruit.
