Thanks, Cincinnana! I have experience drowning mangoes in too-heavy mix so I'm determined to keep it light with bananas. The new Miracle Grow stuff at Costco is even heavier this year (organic, looks like zero perlite) and I'm noticing that even my tomatoes don't like it as well as last year's stuff. Will definitely add perlite and probably cactus mix for better drainage.
