Impatien help please

I need help fast please. I am sure this is posted on here somewhere but I cannot seem to find it. I plant impatiens every year on the north side of my house. It gets hardly any sun at all. 3 years ago I replaced all the soil with new potting soil. During the summer the impatiens start out great and then all of a sudden they start "damping off" and then die. I think the problem may be that the soil is too compact and stay too wet. I have tried to do some researching on what to add to the soil to loosen it up and all I can find is compost. Do any of you have any idea what I can buy to add to my soil to loosen it up before I plant this year? Do I need to add peat moss or is there something else? My new impatiens are sitting on the back porch waiting to be planted until I can find out the answer. Thank you so much in advance for any help you can offer.
