tropicofcancer said: I do grow a bunch of succulents in the gritty mix. It is composed of granite grit (actually chicken grit grower size between 1/16 and 3/16 in size), turface (1/16 to 1/4) and pine bark (1/8-1/4). To do this epsom salt and gypsum is added at 1tbsp each per gallon to provide the initial Ca and Mg. This is the basic mix.
