I'm using a mix thats relatively inexpensive and is ideal for containers. I found this recipe on GW by A1, its 5 parts pine bark fines, 1 part peat and 1 part perlite, pretty inexpensive. I get good water retention, drainage and the mix is gritty enough where you get good aeration too. Of course you have to lime the mix at 1 tablespoon per 1-2 gallons of mix and also add your choice of ferts.
