Default Re: Best soil mix?

I use Fafard 3b mixed with very wll composted manure and vermiculite. Fafard by itself is very good but the manure adds nutrition and better drainage. the vermiculite does the same as perlite, adds drainage and holds moisture. Imop, anything that has good drainage and holds moisture well is tops. Thats the whole key. many people has their preferences but end the end it is basically the same goal. bananas loves their water but don't want to sit in it.
