Transplanting

I transplanted some of my veggies today.  I have done a lot of reading on what type of fertilizer to use, how much to use, all kinds of different recipes.  I still don't know, so like I always do I take snippets of info and make it my own. 
In my mix I used organic all purpose potting soil, sea soil, vermiculite, bone meal, worm castings and Epsom salt I left out the coffee grounds this time :) As for ratios, I didn't measure.  But I'm thinking it went a little like this,
8 C organic potting soil
3 C organic sea soil
1 C vermiculite
3 Tbs of worm castings
2 Tbs bone meal
1 Tbs Epsom salt
So far all plants seem very happy, I put cucumber, squash, tomato and ornamental corn in this mixture.  I will let you know what happens in the next few days.  Also be very careful when transplanting cucumber or anything for that matter. I accidentally ripped part of the root system of a cucumber plant and it was not happy, I think it will live but it looked very sad and it's leaves it curl a bit.  Try not to disturb the roots to much.
