Few years ago i used to do alot of container planting. Then, i used to make my own mix, a version of Al,s 5-1-1.
I get pine bark mulch, screen it through 1/4",and mix some peat moss, grannular fert with Ca..optionally you may add coarse perlite or DE.
I am doing some ,now just potting up my seedlings..
BTW. Lowes sells pine bark mulch, Timberline brand. For about 4 bucks for 2 cubic ft bag.
WalMart might have some too.
