i have a precise way of doing this.....lol

i use worm castings, soil, perlite, and bloodmeal

so for every 2 hand scoops of soil, i do a handful of perlite, a half handful of wormcasting and a dash of bloodmeal....

.
I would not put saw dust in my growing soil mix. It tends to grab hold of Nitrogen and holds onto it (locking it up). Plus it will generate heat as it decomposes - this may damage fragile roots (with seedlings).
.
Saw dust is very good to throw into your Compost Pile or Compost Barrell, once it has rotted down a little (it turns real brown).
.
If you have already put some in your mix, get some redworms or earthworms & introduce them into your container, or put them on the ground where you plants are. With the aid of microorganisms already in the soil, the worms will break down the saw dust more quickly (harm reduction).
.
Peat Moss is dug up from bogs, where dead vegatation has decomposed very slowly. It holds water & nutrients well, after you get it wet. I doubt you would find a bog in your woods - unless you live in Canada, England, Alaska or Scotland.
.
Peat Moss is available at just about every Garden Center, Grocery Store & Wally World. It comes in small bags, or huge bales. A small bag will run you about $ 4, and a bale will run about $ 12 to $ 15. It is a good amendment to add to growing soil.
.
pH wise, Peat Moss is intially neutral (pH of 6.5 to 7) and over time becomes increasingly more acidic. Eventually it will go down to a pH of 4, but that takes a while (longer than the average grow). After you use it, throw it in your Compost Pile (recycle).
.
Hope this helps....
