I am absolutely not an expert here, however I would guess that the 24-hour time period Is really all you need. So I'm guessing you have no clay.
Let's ask Bryant Redhawk.

I just did a soil test using the method from Clemson University. Looks like I have 60% sand and 40% clay.

I will be using this as an earth bag filled wall to surround my blueberries.

Looks like I have to add something to the mix.

Would pea gravel (limestone mostly) be ok or should I do sand?

Other people may reject you but if you lie in the forest floor for long enough the moss and fungi will accept you as one of their own!
