Same here. Personally 1/3 compost in a container mix max. Have had good luck with mushroom and/or worm castings. Next, about 1/3 vermiculite or perlite which in a container mix act the same and help keep the mix light and fluffy and allow for drainage. Sand can be used in place of vermiculite/perlite if you don't mind a heavier mix. This will save some money. Then 1/3 peat moss. Add to that a slow release fertilizer and drip system and you have happy plants.
