This was the first significant change i made years ago,, compared to old bags of topsoil that most new guys use ( i have used this sh&$t). Promix bx is awesome but expensive @ 37$/ bale. Here ,, If your tight on cash you could find a landscape depot where they sell soil and bark & all that stuff and make your own "promix type soil" for a fraction of the price,,,,,, but if you can swing it ,,, by all means , promix with micorhizae is fool proof. ,

Add some oyster shell flour for ph buffering and some earthworm castings to help your microbial life. Idk exactly how much I use, but it's probably 10-15% ewc and oyster shell flour and the rest promix. Use twice as much ewc than OsF

Promix makes it easy to not over-feed since there really isn't anything in there. You will need to feed them more often with straight Promix, but it is good stuff.

Dont spend more than you have to ,, its easy to get caught up in all the hear say a advertising of products,,, some hold weight but sometimes its advantageous to keep it as simple as possible, this applies to most things

Promix's best feature is u can buy it almost everywhere including walmart. Its also fairly consistant. I usually add perilite and a bit of lime but for the price it is worth the extra couple bucks.
