    Same story again...it seems whenever I plant a blueberry bush it begins to die!
    I bought & planted a perfectly healthy blueberry bush(yesterday) that was nice and green. I made a blend of peat moss, sawdust, triple mix soil and planted it in a big pot. Crown of plant slightly above soil level! The leaves are turning maroon today...I know blueberries are sensitive to excessive moisture, but I only applied 1 litre of water after planting...no fertilizers. Should I look for a real sandy soil and amend it...?
    What gives?
