put some dead fish and dead plants underneath some decent soil and it should be good enough

cow manure is pretty good too
 
For those of you who use Promix, why not just make your own? It looks like its just peat, perlite, and myco.?.?.


I think everyone should make their own soil mix for a few reasons,
  1. You know exactly what is in it.
  2. It is usually the cheaper route.
  3. You end up with a better soil.
  4. And you appreciate the gardening process more when you put a little bit of YOU in to it.
Its nice when your neighbor asks "what soil do you use?" and you say... Pfff Please, I make my own.

Some good soil amendments would be
Gypsum - Cal
Azomite a.k.a. Rock Dust - micro nutrients
Worm Castings - Beneficial microbes and plant food
Compost - Beneficial microbes and plant food
Humus - The soil under leaves in the forest. Beneficial microbes and plant food

Add the stuff above to peat and perlite and a dash of mycos, and you have super soil.
