Hi Freedom Fighter,

Never grown them myself, but when I worked in the garden centre we sold bucket loads of them, they like their feet wet, and acidic soils, other than that, theres no much more I can tell you, is there anything in particular you want to know? Might be able to consult my portable library

Mine grow great. I added 25, to 35% peat moss and soil, fast drainage. Last year I had 2 Berkley's, 2 year's old and made no fruit. I recently bought a Herbert and a Northland for cross-pollination.

Just wanted to see if there were other blueberry grower's.
