Cranberries

I am afraid he is slightly wrong in that they dont need water about their roots but indeed do have roots bereft of hair which is why you should NEVER apply any manure at all as it burns the roots, even well rotted stuff.

Shirl, they are great to underplant blueberries with and in time form a carpet. We harvested cranberries last year from 2nd year plants. They are planted in beds in a good helping of ericaceous compost and do very well.

Thanks Piglet, going to keep it in a pot for now - no blueberries to underplant as the blueberries my Dad once got from 'Blueberry Hill' died years ago!! As OH is thinking of moving the family, anything which can be planted in a moveable way is in pots just in case!

Thanks Piglet. I didn't know that.
