Blueberries in containers leaves turning brown.

Lancashire, United Kingdom

I have blueberry plants in containers growing in ericaceous compost. They are situated against a south wall and so get the benefit of any sun that there is. I noticed today that some of the leaves are turning brown at the tips.
I feed them with ericaceous fertiliser and have recently given them a feed of Miracle- Gro soluble plant food.
This is the first time that I have tried growing blueberries.

Any ideas please?

You forgot the link, Mookins. :o)

My blueberry isn't looking too healthy either, but I'm pretty sure it's lack of rainwater to water it even though the compost is correct, it still needs lime free water.
