Default HELP PLEASE - Making Loamy Soil for Potting

Hi,

I want to pot some young conifers, the soil in my area has a fair
amount of clay in it, so, could I buy some compost and add some washed
gritty builders sand to give me a loamy consistancy ---- You may well
answer buy some loamy soil, but I just wondered if the above would be
OK to use.

If so, what ratio, sand to compost.

Thanks in advance.

Rick.
