Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Good choice for a ground cover.  They are evergreen in your area, with the
same requirements as any acid-loving plant - lots of organic matter, kept
moist but not soggy.  The little bell shaped flowers are great and the red
berries set off the foliage well.  Hand picking is slow with the small size
of the berries, so a berry rake is useful to pick them.  Figure roughly a
pound of berries to every 4-6 square feet, in good conditions.  You won't go
back to cranberries after you taste them.
Hartmann's in Michigan  (616) 253-4281 has them and a lot of other good
berries.  Mention my name if you contact them, ask for the retail catalog.
