Well, I have well-drained loamy soil, and I haven't measured the pH.  But there's a blueberry bush (Rubel) right next to the asparagus bed now, and both seem to be doing fine.  The blueberry has a lot of mulch, and the asparagus doesn't, so it ends up moister.  I'm just moving the line between the two a bit.   It might make sense to pot up the blueberry for the season, but there isn't a better spot for it - that's where it's going.  (And if I pot it up, I'm not sure where I'll put the pot.)

I'm often jealous of you folks who have enough land to pick multiple spots!
