Default What to add to make the ideal soil for vegetables?

The soil is good - but a bit heavy.
Should I add Irish Moss Peat
or a general purpose compost?
Or something else?

My veg plot is fairly small - and so cost per square yard doesn't matter
much.


I find that mushroom compost works very well on my heavy soil. Easier
to use than horse manure, unless it's really good stuff.
