Tplant: i've actually never used top soil to mix, just the cheap potting soil. the cheap potting soil is death to a plant used alone (learn the hard way). so that's why i amend it with enough pine bark mulch and perlite to make it more porous. if i can squeeze it in my hand and it holds together but yet at the same time crumbles up easily, in my mind roots should like it. common sense to me..... at least the containers i had this year must have liked it.
i'll be filling many homemade SWC's and don't want to have a whole lof of $$ tied up in the medium. but i'm still considering trying the jungle growth just to compare any difference between what i mix up.
