Fo you know what the pH of your soil is? Blueberries like a pH of 4.5 to 6.
Any higher and you have to amend the soil to make it more acidic.

They also like to be watered every third day or so, especially when putting
fruit, but must be planted so the excess waster will drain off quickly.

I am going to try to send you a copy of my blueberry planting information.
If you dont get it, and want me to try again, send me your e-mail address.

Hi all,
I planted a blueberry bush a couple of weeks ago. It has had nothing but
rainwater (as advised) and was planted in ericaceous compost (again, as
advised). However, a large number of the leaves have started to go
brown - either at the tips or down the middle section. We had a few very
hot days a couple of weeks ago and I thougt that maybe the leaves had got
scorched, but it's been unbelievably windy and wet ever since. I can't
work out what is happening to my plant. I am in Leigh-on-Sea in Essex. If
anyone has any ideas, please let me know.
Thanks,
Jo
