I use ProMix, it is the compressed 2 cu ft bundles that expand 4 cu ft. I get them at Menards. I throw a couple trowels of composted manure into the planting hole when planting the seedlings. My 5 gallon buckets have 2 1/2" diameter holes drilled into the side of the bucket about 1.5" above the bottom. That's it!
