hey all, ive just taken a good look around and grabbed pretty much whatever i could get my hands on for ferts and soil and whatnot for this year. heres a list of what i have, just looking for some ballpark figures on what a good soil mix might be.... in past years ive just used standard potting soil, and then made ferts the bread and butter of the growing success. this year i want to have a good soil mix to start with. heres what i have. any legit feedback would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

1 cu/ft. miracle gro potting soil
1 cu/ft. miracle gro moisture control potting soil
1 cu/ft. composted cow manure (farm fresh manure available as well)
1 bail of peat moss
a bag of perilite
epsom salt
blood meal
lime

plenty of ferts and pest repellent and whatnot, but i want to focus on a good soil mix for now. i usually dig holes and treat them to some lime about a week before planting, use about half potting soil and half whatever is there, and treat that with some of the salts. but this is the first year ive really had all the resources.
