    Hello, I just want to know do blueberry bushes like a potash feed?

    I know other soft fruits like a high potash feed. I feed my strawberries and apple tree with tomatoe feed.

    Yes, that's what I have done, used Tomorite. Mine are still in pots, ready to go in the ground though.

    I use tomato feed and comfrey. Early Spring I give the plants ericaceous feed.

    Thank you for your advice.

    When you say an ericaseous feed, is this a liquid feed or slow release granules?
    Also the feed, could it be for Rhodys as well?

    Liquid feed. I can't really use slow release as the two bushes are planted through membrane that is covered with bark chips.
