Does anybody know what flowers, herbs, other fruit and veg should be grown with or near blueberries as companion plants, to aid, strengthen, protect and support each other?

Watch out for cranberry weevil, as these can kill blueberry bushes.
It is best not to grow anything with them if you can as they will compete for the nutrients in the soil. You just need to feed them more oftern.
I find that cranberries being a bog plant, like a more wetter ground than blueberrries. Blueberries like water, but not their roots kept in it.
