    Yes it's useful as fertilizer. But according to this article it's pH 7.4 so on the alkaline side, especially for blueberries which require a more acidic soil.

    I haven't used it, but according to this information, I would mix it with an ericaceous compost for bed preparation and/or mulching.

    Oh, these are wonderful companions, indeed! You will find that they provide a ground cover, and competition at the soil level that will be beneficial to the blueberries.

    They can also benefit from planting peas or beans near or around to provide a boost of nitrogen to the soil. Just plant them behind everything or off to the side. They will leach nitrogen into the soil and help feed the blueberries.

    There are many pests that can be causing the leaf damage on your Blueberries. A closer inspection will be needed to determine the pest.
    You can treat with Neem Oil, which is organic and will treat most sucking pests.
    Here are some links to help you.

    It can be very difficult to pinpoint the exact cultivar, but you could pinpoint the exact species that it is. You may have to watch it over a few seasons to see when it flowers, the color, and other characteristics about it to determine what species it is using a blueberry dichotomous key. These can be found many places online. You can also take a sample, or pictures to your local extension service, and they may be able to help.

    To produce to their fullest, they will need full sun. They can grow in partial shade, but the more shade the less fruit you will get.
