Do you DIY a base mix you start with and amend depending on what plants you have? Or you have a bagged soil that's your go to?

I've been having trouble with bagged mixes in recent years and I'm wondering about it.

I use a peat based mix and may add perlite, or bark chips, or coir 'chunks' which have fiber in the bag too. That depends on the plant.
I am not very 'professional' about this. I primarily use a commercial peat based potting mix- currently a Lambert mix sold in a bale.
I have a big assortment of plants. I've seen a huge range of plants do well in fresh quality brand, commercial mix.
Plant it and they will come.

Pro-Mix is my favorite. Plain without any additives except maybe mycorrhiza.
