How much loam and how much gravel for a parking area that also can grow grass?

Contractor has available “Shur-pak” which is a crushed stone with stone dust that packs into a hard surface if not mixed with anything. Natural gravel is not available.

But what ratio among these 3 materials to create a surface that will support vehicles and grow vegetation?
