Basically 1/3 of each of the following:
Perlite
Peat Moss
Compost manure - differing manufacturers of this.
Dump similar amounts of each by volume on a tarp and flip back and forth several times. Then load your pots or raised beds.
I use Texas Tomato food with it and it works well.

Bless your heart for mentioning the tarp method.
I was so tired of mixing in a tub and kept wishing for a small cement mixer. The tarp is much more convenient and a great way to mix many pots worth of soil in one go. Too heavy for me to flip a lot of soil at once but with the flat side of a rake to spread it out and then flip the edges inward it worked great and my old shoulders don't hurt as much as they would mixing soil the old way.
