Make sure the lime is Dolomite Lime, available widely. I use it all the time in my soil mix, inside and out. At the rate of one handful per gallon soil mix or so. About a 1/4 cup I think. And post your mix when you have it perfected. Love to hear about it and good luck!
Peat moss will also make your soil more acidic as it breaks down, so be careful of that. That is one reason to use lime. To buffer this problem.
Also, if your soil repels water as some do due to lack of a surfactant, (allows soil to uptake water, breaks surface tension to allow water to be absorbed) then try using SM-90, It does help and aids in root growth.
Peace.
Peace
