My friend in the master gardeners grows blueberries here and I have some potted ones for sale. I'm just growing them like he told me to. He told me the easy way to grow them here. I don't change the ph of the soil at all, I just add ironite whenever the new growth lightens up a little, indicating that they need iron.Mulch under them real well with mulch after you plant them and grow them fairly moist.
I've even picked a few berries off my potted plants I just got in this spring. We have Blueray, bluecrop and tophat dwarf. Northern types.
