I went last night. Got a Grape, Goji, Red Gooseberry, Tayberry and 5 Cranberries.

The Cranberries are for my Blueberry pots and will hopefully end up as smoothies.

All nice healthy plants.

Hi BFG, just wondering if you plant your cranberries with the blueberries in the same pot? I got some too and was wondering how to plant them I've read they are good together and like acidic soil....

[BFG]

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. The BlueBerries are bushy and the Cranberries trailing and they both like the same soil, so a pretty good match.

Quite large pots though. Don't think it'd work well otherwise.

Remember that tap water is usually alkaline, so only water with rain water.

Thank you

They had pomegranite, cranberry and goji berry?! I didn't realise! I just got the red gooseberry one, sent my father in law down for it, didn't realise they had all those! Gutted!

Wow they still have stock in places? Ours have all gone now. Glad the info was useful to other grapes!

Yep Cranberries and blueberries like acid. I was also told that cranberries do well in a hanging basket so I'm trying that with the one I'd already bought this year

Cranberries like to have their roots in water.

Make sure you have a plastic liner with no holes. Fill with peat and some grit. Only use rain water on them.

Thanks for the info Wrex. I put a liner but it had holes in. I'll redo it when I get chance

In this gardener's world video they suggest putting holes in it.
Apparently they like to be wet, but not boggy, so the sheet keeps the moisture in, but the holes let the excess run through.

Here's my bed I put my grape, tayberry, red gooseberry, blueberry and cranberry plants:
