Joy Re: Best soil mix?

For my soil mix, I always follow the main keys to the needs of the plant, in fact any plant;

1. Aeration for the existing roots.
2. Soft enough for the new roots to move/penetrate.
3. Ability to hold/retain adequate moisture.

With this in mind, go figure with the different requirements of each family of the plants you are growing. The fert and other nutrition comes in second after the plant has established in this media.
