I've heard up to 20%, but I wouldn't go over 5% to be safe. I'm using a Dixie cup per cubic foot in raised beds. I'm also mixing in grass compost and wood humus, along with some stuff I found on the side of the road at the bottom of a hill in a curve. It stays wet, and it's a mix of street sand and years of oak leaves run over and broken down. It's full of earthworms, and when I put the shovel to it, it smelled like a Louisiana swamp.
Edit: I read on a Permies thread that a commercial farmer uses 14,000 pounds per acre at a half inch deep and tills it in. Probably a better comparison for your situation.
