blueberries in the triangle

[Jane Peppler]

Hi,

New subscriber. I haven't seen anything here about blueberry cultivation
and am thinking about putting in some plants, in a raised bed. I was
thinking about having a load of thrice-ground pine bark mixed with sand
as the soil mixture? What have people had luck with? And with deer and
birds aplenty, what kind of protective system shall I plan for? Any
suggestions on cultivars? All experience welcome.

Please post responses to the list. I am also interested, especially the
deer issue!!!.
