Applying the fertilizer is actually very easy, as when you go to plant the berry, it will present the option on a list, whether or not to use mulch on that square. The actual effects of each fertilizer are listed below:

From Pokemon Berry and Poffin Guide

"Damp Mulch: Slows the growth of the berry notably (125%) and the soil stays wet longer.
A useful mulch for the busy with life players or having lots to do in-game, as this allows for more to be done between waterings.

Gooey Mulch: Increases the number of times un-harvested berries will take seed.
A mulch for the forgetful player, as the berries will simply recycle themselves. Just try to remember about them sometime.

Growth Mulch: Reduces time of growth cycles (75%). The soil will dry quickly.
The advanced mulch, it cuts the time it takes for the berries to reach maturity, sometimes drastically. The soil will be dry much more often, thus requiring a little more care to maximize results

Stable Mulch: Extends the time berries will remain on the tree."
