From one of my books, Seed-starting mix: 2 parts loam 1 part peat 1 part sand (coarse and sharp) + 2lbs superphosphate per cubic yard.
Potting mix: 7 parts loam 3 parts peat 2 parts sand (coarse and sharp) + compost from compost pile OR
5lbs pers cubic yard of an additive containing (by weight) 2 parts hoof and horn meal 2 parts superphosphate 1 part sulfate of potash.
I love the "Cornell" potting mix: 2 gallons vermiculite 2 gallons shredded peat moss 2 level tablespoons superphosphate 2 level tablespoons ground limestone 8 heaping tablespoons steamed bone meal or equivalent amount of cow manure
