Blueberry bush

I have a blueberry bush which I started in a pot last year. It produced some berries this year and has grown really well so I want to put it in a much bigger container next year. I know I need to use eraceous compost but does anyone know if I can mix this with some of my garden compost or well rotted horse manure or would this affect the plant adversely.
Grateful for any advise. Sheelagh :cnfs:

 

I would guess that your garden compost should be ok Sheelagh as it will most likely be on the acid side of neutral. If you want to be absolutely certain you can always test it with a ph test meter.
I planted my blueberries in the ground after testing the soil which after years of adding compost was just about perfect, but I still added bought ericaceous to the planting holes.

Had a super crop of berries this year, picked the first ones on 29 July and made the final harvest last week!

 

I bought 4 blueberry bushes this year. Although no flowers as I think they are too young. I planted them up in pots.
I've read that they are hardy, but to keep them away from frost pockets. SUrely if you plant them in the ground they will be exposed to the cold winds and frost?
My blueberry bushes have grown twice their size since potting them up. I look forward to next year. Although I have to be quick, my 3 yr old son LOVES blueberries lol.

 

Ours in the ground survived the coldest winter for 30 years and produced a great crop.
The plants are related to bilberries and cranberries and are northern latitude plants.

 

Thanks everyone. Think i'll try and mix some eracaeous with my compost. Only got a small crop this year but handy to throw on cereal or in my muffins. One plant in particular has grown about 3ft or more this summer so hoping for a good harvest next year when I get it in a much larger pot. Sheelagh :luv:
