blueberries

Ok guys and girls, I have watched the blueberry propagating videos here (there is a sequence), I have the things ready and waiting. Due to the fact that my garden is tiny, overcast, crowded and the plants are starting to get yellow leaves because they are being shaded out by the surrounding...

Anybody here have experience in setting up a simple/inexpensive (but effective) barrier to keep birds from highbush blueberries? Suggestions for a frame and netting setup anyone? Thanks!

OK so I just got two blueberry bushes this evening... But NOW what? ;) What's the best way to plant these things? (Any special soil additives, mulching, whatevers that help them be happy berry bearing plants? :cool: I am a gardening neophyte- so please be specific LOL I've never grown berry...
