Ellen - I started with one bag of Aussie Gold just to try it and fell in love with it!! When I re-potted in the Spring I mixed my own. I have included Mayres great tutorial below. We basically use the same mix but I like adding Dynarock (diatomite)to my mix with less perlite (if any). One reason is that it doesn't wash away like perlite and charcoal will. I feel it gives a little more aeration and drainage and also adds some weight to the pot. I use it with my cyms outside, and I have cats inside, so a little extra resistance is a good thing!
