 Thanks for the advice! Do you have any recommendations for where to find ericaceous compost and woodchips? #gardeningtips 🌿🌳

 Most decent garden centres places where you buy plants will have it. If you can buy some mycorrhizal fungi inoculant too and use it  when you plant that always good practice for most plants especially woody plants that last longer than a season (perennials). Blueberries unfortunately need a slight different version (ericoid mycorrhizal fungi)  for optimum health so you might want to see if its worth the extra cost as only a small range of plants need this type.

Also if you mulch it with wood chip either put down some carboard with holes in it to shade out the grass or remove it. Mulch heavily at least 2-3 inches and if its been dry near you soak the ground first.

 Your welcome. Some other things to give them that are hard to screw up are seaweed and bakers yeast (that includes ale/wine/mead/cider yeast but don't give them lager yeast-thats suitable for plants from a more alpine orgin). Don't give up if something dies I still kill stuff all the time 😁 Happy gardening!

 Glad I could help! You can find ericaceous compost at most garden centers or online retailers like Amazon. As for woodchips, check with your local landscaping supply store or tree service companies. Happy gardening! 🌿🌳 #greenthumb
