What is the best compost for growing blueberries in containers?

Our Advice:

Blueberries need acid compost and good drainage. Try using a mixture of 50% peat-based ericaceous compost and 50% shredded bark. Water with rainwater (to avoid tap water lime) and feed with Gro-Sure Ericaceous Plant Food from Westland.
