Do you have any other ericaceous plants growing nearby? *If so, you can
probably grow blueberries. *It's many years since I grew one, but it was

You can buy a cheap probe type PH meter from many places. check it
when you get it home, I test in a bottle of vinigar, if it reads the
wrong way round then you can se salder the wires (Reverse them),
I bought I, read the wrong way round, I phoned the firm, they sent me
another same problem, so I spent 3 mins with the saldering iron and
now have 2 that read OK.
