Help with Blueberry bushes

My blueberry bushes were planted last year, however the leaves have all turned reddy brown and the fruit shrivelling. I planted in ericaceous soil and have been watering most nights when there hasn’t been rain. I did however water them with the remains of a tomato plant fertiliser when watering my tomatoes. Could this be the problem?
Should I try to replant in new soil?

Like yours they're planted in ericaceous compost.
I only water them with rainwater and try to never let the pots dry out.
They are in the sun all day and sometimes need watering twice a day in hot weather.
I feed once a month during the growing season with Miracle Grow fertilizer for Azaleas/Rhododendrons
I give them a seaweed extract feed about once every 2 weeks while they're growing.
I have 3 plants that are all heavy with delicious berries.
I hope you can revive yours. They're well worth growing.
Best of luck!
