I have a large bag remaining after repotting blueberries etc. What can I do with it? Can I dig it into the ground, if so what should be added? Any ideas?

My suggestion would be mix it well in with your compost a bit at a time, and spread it about rather than bury it in one place, that way you add nutrients and don't change the ph too much in one area.
Sit down before a fact as a little child, be prepared to give up every preconcieved notion, follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss nature leads, or you shall learn nothing.

Potatoes like a slightly more acidic soil than most plants, so you could line a trench or two with it. [That's why it pays also to use rhubarb leaves at the bottom of potato trenches].
