Default What mix?

In article ,
says...
I have several large pots and tubs to fill and refill this year
and am thinking of getting out the cement mixer and mixing up my
own concoction of garden soil, home compost and a suitable
fertilizer.
But
1. what fertilizer and what ratio of soil to compost
should I use?
2. should I add anything else? Sand?

Mike




I use 60lts peat free compost, 25lts soil, 5lts grit and for food
Ozmocote slow release granuals
