How is this Pro-Mix for growing tomatoes in self watering (wicking) containers? I've seen ProMix HP/BX mentioned but not much on this "All purpose" product.

Would I need to add perlite/dolomitic lime/fetilizer in the same ratios as below with MG being replaced by Pro-Mix All Purpose?

I've been using the mix posted here with good results:

4 parts Miracle Grow potting mix(not Moisture control)
1 part Peat Moss
1 Part Perlite
2 cups Dolomite Lime
2 cups non slow release fertilizer(10-10-10 I buy at Lowe's works great for the tomatoes).
