Morning Logan and Zigs and alp....to others I may have missed
Blueberries need at least to be grown with another variety but ideally with 2 others.
Of course, acid soil....anything with lime is fatal
Perfect in containers....use a john innes ericaceous soil. Ericaceous multi purpose compost is not adequate. I prefer to grow mine in pots in the ground....
It helps prevent compost drying out too much
Keep reasonably moist...dappled shade is good although mine are grown in full sunshine.
An annual mulch......acid bark chips or JI ericaceous plus I add dried manure or pelleted chicken manure. Oh! Delicious too
Pruning? I remove old wood, thin wood and aim to sustain a supply of young wood.
Strawberries? Not difficult here if birds and slugs are kept off them. Again use john innes (ordinary ...ericaceous not needed) if in pots. Add dried manure and fish blood and bone. A liquid seaweed feed or tomato feed during the summer too. A mulch of straw is excellent for keeping fruit clean and dry. I think it also helps deter those slugs
Hope this helps
