Thanks so much everyone.

I must have some sort of dumb luck, because it drained fine for me. Dunno.

I thought mushrooms were grown in composted manure - apparently that's incorrect?

I'm talking about 32 containers, why I'm being "cheap" and not just getting a mix (also not too enthused about things purchased in bags)

The local place sells a bulk mix of topsoil, mushroom compost, and sand - that's intended for the garden itself though, not containers. I was considering that however, plus adding some peat and bark fines though, if I can find them.

Or just doing the topsoil and mushroom compost (I can get both in bulk) and adding peat and fines.

I realize it's not considered ideal - but hopefully doesn't sound like a disaster?
