Non Salt Natural Soil Amendments

I needed this for a project and it took me some time to compile.
I used The Dan Kittredge Amendments mostly, another post, but added in some things because we had really poor soil water holding capacity.
Mostly Zeolite (7 tons) and BioChar (3 tons) per acre. Won't know the results for couple years probably.

Those are all great amendments.

What about compost tea and weed tea?

What about chop and drop?

Love
Compost Tea
Chop and Drop
I bet your weed tea is my green manure tea or comfrey tea... into which I'll put just about anything. I bet you do, too. Soda Pop  

I think what you mentioned is actually much more beneficial with much higher efficacy.  

We used this sheet on a property for a big rehaul.
Now, we are looking at a property that got logged off and is deeply compacted. So if we are going to deep rip, then, might as well put the goodies in the basket, and then go with broad-spectrum cover crops to try to get some structure in that soil. Or tons of smelly radishes and beets and no deep rip.
Just adding one item here

I lost two posts. So i'm not as motivated to post the Green Manure lists.  it's long with nutrient stacks and what not.

Wollastonite $350 ton
"Source of Silica/ silicon and Calcium
Wollastonite is a calcium metasilicate mineral with the chemical formula CaSiO3, which is made up of 48.3% calcium oxide (CaO) and 51.7% silicon dioxide (SiO2) by weight. However, it can also contain trace amounts of other elements, such as aluminum, iron, magnesium, manganese, potassium, sodium, or strontium, which can substitute for calcium in the mineral's structure. The amount and type of impurities in wollastonite can affect its color, which can range from bright white to gray, cream, brown, pale green, or red.

Wollastonite is a naturally occurring, needle-shaped mineral that forms when impure limestone is subjected to high pressure and temperature. It has a high melting point, high pH (9.9), and a specific gravity of 2.9, and it exhibits low moisture absorption. Wollastonite is used in a variety of industries, including ceramics, where its fibrous form can help reduce shrinkage and warpage during drying and firing, and increase firing strength

We previously reported that wollastonite, an Organic Materials Reviews Institute–approved natural mineral, can increase soil Si level, increase soil pH, provide pumpkin plants with Si, and increase their resistance to powdery mildew.

We confirmed that wollastonite has liming capabilities similar to regular limestone. Regardless of the application rates, wollastonite and limestone showed similar effects on soil chemistry and plant mineral composition. Pumpkin plants grown with the lower doses of wollastonite amendments (3.13 and 6.25 tons/acre) had the greatest tissue Si concentrations and demonstrated the greatest disease resistance. We conclude that wollastonite is a useful material for organic cucurbit (Cucurbitaceae) growers who want to increase soil pH and improve plant resistance to powdery mildew at the same time. Applying wollastonite at rates beyond the amount required to achieve a desirable soil pH for pumpkin production did not further increase Si uptake, nor did it further suppress powdery mildew development"
