I need a plan for building soil fertility

8. Remineralization for yield and better nutrition

From my favorite gardening author, Steve Solomon and Erica Reinheimer theintelligentgardener

He explains what cation exchange capacity is and how to use the CEC in your soil to attach and make available the cationic nutrients: phosphorous, calcium, boron, copper, potassium, etc.

The ingredients are the "rock dusts" in vogue with organic farmers and specific ingredients like borax, for boron. Yes, I put a few cups of "20 Mule Team Borax" into our planting beds.

Nitrogen is anionic, the opposite of cationic, it is a different fertilization based on soil microbes and the fertilizer is seed meals, manure, or some other ingredients. Manure is hard to quantify, so seed meals are best.

It all starts with a soil test. Use a good lab. Here are the worksheets:

I used this for the first time this year with disease problems and scant bug problems.
