Hi clemsontyger. There are many very knowledgeable people here, and on the pepper forum, who can help.

I like this summary though, as a staring point:

There is a section on mixes, and they endorse quite a few.

Here is a link that might be useful: Container Vegetable Gardening

Thanks, that will definitely help...especially the chart for what size/depth to use for various types of veg. I had thought about trying to mix my own but wondering if I am better off just buying a mixture from the store so as to get the right combination. I had assumed I'd use a soil mix, as I am not familiar with soilless, but will take a look at those as well after reading that.

Cool. A lot of times it breaks down to what's available in the area (and on sale!)
