so ive been trying to mix my own potting soil and ive been having some problems. probably mostly with the ratio. can anybody give me an idea of a good ratio to use and maybe if i would need anything else? here is a list of the ingredients i have at my disposal:

peat moss
coarse vermiculite
2 years aged horse manure composted with 10% wood chips *i have lots of this crap
mushroom compost
worm castings
hydrated lime
dolomite lime

any ideas???

Here is a link to a recipe. But I think some of the ingredients are different than what you listed.
