Hi! I bought some greedy mix for my new succulents. Should I mix some soil in with it or use the greedy mix alone. Thanks!

That depends on many factors. Every brand is different. I use Jacks Gritty Mix and add a little houseplant soil to it because it drains so quickly. It’s pretty much all grit. I add about 10% for echeverias, 20% for Haworthias and Gasterias, for peperomias I add about 50%. Miracle Grow succulent soil is already too organic and would need grit added to it.
