What's in your mix? (if you don't mind me asking of course...)

Mostly my mix consists of turface with a bit of peat. I eye it mostly in a big bucket. Probably 70% turface 30% peat. And for trees that like sandy soil i put less peat and add sand/grit. Tropicals get a Turface/tropical soil mix.
Basically whatever i had easy access to (turface, Peat) became my soil and i just adjusted it to suit my needs. Its working for most trees and others dont like it as much (J. maples). Ive only been into bonsai for 3-4 years and getting to know each trees behavor is still challenging me. I think this year im gonna add some pea gravel and see how that goes. Like I said I tried lava rock but didnt like the wet gooie muck it made.
Anyway I hoped this helps.
