What do you think of this soil?

Hey guys I have read just about everything I can find on this forum about the soils used in containers and SWC and plan on setting up my own SWC in about two weeks. I have bult a prototype with the soil mix and it seems to be working great but want some other insight. Here is my mix

30% compost- Leafpro

30% partialy composted pine and hardwood bark- Claybreaker (also contains gypsum)

20% perlite

10% peat

10% aged mannure/hummus

Moisture level seems very good over a 2 week period in prototype but there are no plants in it and it has been pretty cool so it has not needed any additional water is this normal?
