I thought I could get away with buying packaged soil, however from all that I'm reading, I need to mix my own! (Just don't like dirt in my fingernails, lol!)

Here's what I have:

Promix
Perlite
Vermiculite
Charcoal

What kind of ratios should I use to mix up a batch? Should I add water if I'm going to keep it in storage for future use?

Thanks, all... all my plants would be dead without you!
