Store bought mix strikes again!

I finally got into the garden after a busy week and todays job was digging out the potato bags, I've had the aussie gardener bags for a few years and they have been groin g well, however, this year i have got a lot less out of the bags then ever i got nothing out of one of the big bags. The plants were doing well and had been watered regally with the hose that leaks ( another thing for the shopping list)

Id used Premium veggie potting mix with manure and sewed in the bag, usually the soil starts there and works its way to top up the beds, however after the miserable potato harvest i think im going to toss it.

I'm thinking in future, buy a premium potting mix but add compost ,fertilizer, castings and manure myself. I did add mushroom compost layer as they were growing but I don't think it did much, just another one to add to the blueberry that didn't like its new soil.

has anyone got some suggestions to make a decent soil for veggies ?

Thank you
