Default What to add for soil mix

Usually buy a mix but need about 31cf so trying to do this for a decent price.
Here is what I have.

would like to use these as a base
Soil Conditioner - badically really fine pine bark - 2cf
Composted cow manure - 2cf

other left overs
~2qt perlite
~1cf peat moss

I would love to throw a lot of perlite in there but its about $4-5 for a very small amount (4qt). Possibly some sand but I do not recall seeing sterile sand.
