I've been using Pro Mix HP.

I don't keep track of how old the mix is, but I replace some from each box each year, to get the texture I'm looking for. At least that is what I do for the boxes that are empty, and weren't used over the winter. There are always a few that go from peas to tomatoes with almost no prep. That happened today. It's been glorious 70's all month, and today it hit 101. Out went the sugar snaps, and in went a tomato seedlings that was about to be tossed.

What months do you solarize?
