Okay, now I'm thinking my mix will contain something like
*Turface MVP-35%
*Filter Sand(possibly pumice or lave rock)-35%
*Pine Bark-30%
Sound okay?

Sounds like a winner to me . . . only way to know for sure though is to try it out.
The way that I mix my soil is that I have a large container with all the inorganics sifted and mixed at a 50/50 ratio.
I've got a separate container with the aged pine bark and I basically mix up a new batch for each tree. I vary the amount of organics in each mix based on the tree . . . . for example, my tropicals get more organics than mine conifers, my maples get about an even mix, etc. If I know a tree likes it on the wetter side it gets more organics, if it prefers drier soil it gets less.
