I planted 6 bushes in nutral soil and within two seasons they had all died.
I tried to add acidic builders to that part of the garden, but it didnt seem
to help. I wish I knew what the problem was. The books asy that they do
better a pH of 4.5 to about 6. Ours is 7.5. Let us know how they came out.

You need very acid soil and, I believe, moist conditions and/or frequent

I believe that the need for acidity is a myth - they can handle it,
unlike most plants, but can grow in neutral soil with enough humus
and moisture. That is from books, though.
