Thanks. I've spent the afternoon sorting out my patch. I've put the
blueberry plant into a large heavy duty plastic bag of 100% ericaceous
compost (B&Q) and sunk it deap enough to as not to be able to see the
bag. The entire 70l bag of soil is in there so there is plenty of room
for the roots - prob about the size of an extra large pot.
Hopefully it'll take OK and grow nicely - time will tell !
Good tip re the netting -I'll make sure I have some on standby...

I hope you made adequate drainage holes in the bag before sinking it! I
don't know, but I think I'd have slit right across the bottom. What
would be really instructive would be for you to grow another one simply
in a hole filled with ericaceous mixture with no bag, and maybe yet
another in the ordinary soil, and compare results.
