Typical mix is somewhat 1 part ea. of turface, sand/gravel( I have used sand blasting sand with success), and composted pine bark mulch, and a ton of varieties of one off changes in those ingredients. Such as lava pumice, akadama, "grit", sphagnum moss, etc.

A lot depends on your location, and type of trees, size of pots, ability to water when needed. But as I said above or tried to, it's a good jumping off point with the above basic mix.

The basic mix becomes flexible with differing quantities of the ingredients, to suit the trees needs, ie acidity, need for oranics, more drainage, more water retention, etc.

Use our search button for soils, theres a bunch of opinions, and recipies, check them and have fun choosing. If inexperianced I would suggest staying away from cheapening the recipies by using some of the alternative ingredients such as kitty litter, until you have a better understanding of how and why the soil issue is so alive.
