Bill,
You have several answers here, and all add up to about the same thing. Fast draining and coarse. But ... (and it's a big but) I don't see you letting us know where in California you are. I note this because it's important. The stuff Kit uses, vs. the m
ix I prepare will vary considerably, because of the drastic climate change between the Bay area, and the Valley. This is just one reason we use care when advising people about the -proper- soil. Like Jim told you, There ain't just one!'.

Where are you?

Regards,
Shelly Hurd Central CA - Sunset Zone 8-USDA Zone 9
