My current recipe for potting mix for tomatoes and peppers is:
10% perlite
50% peat free compost
40% homemade compost/worm castings
6g of fish&blood&bone per litre
Used to use coir instead of peat free compost but the 5kg blocks are now almost double what we were paying a few years ago so it's cheaper to buy the compost.
Courgettes and potatoes don't care what they grow in so I don't use the good stuff on them. This year the potatoes are in:
10% coffee grounds
40% partially rotted horse manure
50% old potting mix or very unfinished home made compost
3g of 'spuds galore' per litre
I've got 3 x 50L bags of grass sod rotting down, hopefully we'll get some good stuff to use next year.
