I suggest getting your soil tested to see if it needs nutrients or amendments and what the soil pH is. Then you will know where to correct. They need a pH of 5, which is fairly acidic. They also need well draining soil.

If you prefer, you could dig it up and put it in a container of potting soil mixed with 1/3 peat to lower the pH. Here are growing instructions:
