I don’t think I would choose to try a cactus mix, presumably with a lot of sand for tomato or other veggie starts

This mix has no sand (that I can see) -- peat, perlite, and very small woody fines. I thought it would have sand also. I had really good results this spring with this mix. It drains really well, and with the Tomato Tone that I added, the plants stayed nice and green. This is the best I've done in several years. I've got 3 of my plants in EarthBoxes now, and should get the rest planted this week.
