What does the potting mix consist of, what are the ingredients? Thanks.

I have the bag in front of me and the Ingredients state: This product is formulated from 45-55% sphagnum peat moss, peat humus, perlite and dolomitic limestone to adjust pH.

Is there supposed to be small holes in the bag?

Yes, the soil being organic, the bag breathes a bit so it doesn't go to mold (which will happen if you fold it closed and clamp it past the breathing holes).

Does anyone know if this is a good potting soil to mix with fast drying succulent soil to make a mix?

No. It holds a lot of water. You should look into bonsai mix. It's basically tiny rocks and bark. My succulents are really happy in it. You might have to water a bit more often than if you used cactus mix , but it depends on your environment.

Does this soil contain any pesticides and or insecticides? I would like to use this in a mixture of substrate for my invertebrates and want it safe.

It’s advertised as organic, so I highly doubt it.
