Default Potting Soil vs. Potting Mix

What is the difference between "Potting Soil" and "Potting Mix"?
Also, if you were to make your own potting mix or potting soil what
would it consist of?

Thanks


I call it "potting mix" because I mix it myself. I don't think "soil"
would be correct because, in my case, there is no soil from the garden
in it.

My recipe is at http://www.rossde.com/garden/garden_potting_mix.html.
