Donald, you're right that the adjacent quote broke the notification.
>> The key is copious amounts of organic material in conjunction with using sand. It's the operative ingredient.
I agree. Especially with the word "copious" (even if I have trouble spelling it).
>> I don't worry much about adding anything except organic material to change the texture.
I understand how that would work, as long as you add a LOT of OM and keep re-applying enough to keep the clay grains or micro-plates separated.
I should probably stress even more that my experience is with not enough compost. Like 20-30% compost is not enough to "redeem" clay even briefly. 50% compost - maybe.
But 20-30% compost, plus 10% grit and coarse sand (whether I add it or there was already some in the clay soil), THAT works pretty well for me.
