I have been advised to give my bay trees a fortnightly liquid feed after repotting them, to help them grow. They have never been fed, and look very tired. Could anyone tell me what sort of liquid feed I should use please? Thank you very much for your help.

As far as feeding is concerned, a small handful of long-lasting fertiliser such as blood, fish and bone once a month (April to September) will do just fine. Sprinkle it over the surface of the soil and gently work it in to stop it blowing away

Or I'd think any of the normal liquid feeds will do.
Although this says to avoid the liquid feeds

think I'd stick to the blood, fish and bone meal then.
Rather than a liquid feed, I use a pelleted, slow release fertilizer.
Its what they use in garden centers. It just washes in after watering
