Help me formulate an outdoor coir based container mix

-- Sorry, didn't realize there was a container gardening forum, going to repost this over there, although by all means please reply if you have ideas since technically I am trying to build an all organic mix --

So I am looking to plant out my spring garden here in about another week or so. Mostly peppers with some tomatoes and other odd things here and there.
Many things are going to go straight into the ground, but I will also be planting some into containers (fabric and plastic) for easy over wintering later on.

I currently have at my disposal coir, worm compost (non-powdered), leaf compost, high phosphorus guano, and perlite. I can also easily acquire vermiculite, bark compost, and various manures.

What would make a good combo for use in outdoor containers?
