Ericaceous planting
So I’ve got a few things to plant out that I believe need ericaceous compost so brought a bag back from B&Q.
Ive put half into a planter that I’ll be putting three heathers and a blueberry root wrap in - I need to fill the planter up so can I use multipurpose or soil?
The other half has gone in and around a new hole in my lawn where I’ve put in a black steel hydrangea, I’ve forked the compost into the soil - is that right?
I may plant a grapevine about three feet away, will the ericaceousness of it all hamper growth?
Im putting in a raspberry root wrap a few feet the other way on the other side of a path too, with a small amount of ericaceous compost.
Any tips for keeping it acidic, or is it just buying more ericaceous compost and mulching periodically?
Cheers TP

If you really want to do this then pots with ericaceous compost would be best, but why not exploit what you have?
I can self seed forget me nots, but my aunt tore her hair out with nigella,which I can't grow at all all though I would love to.
