I located this bit from Steve Diver at ATTRA, and it seems to answer one of
my questions. Steve, you out there this fine day? Comment?

........ the value of rock dusts
to provide bioavailable minerals and trace elements, and
the essential activity of microbes to result in solubilization
and mineralization through organic acids, enzymes, and
chelation.

To me, this is by far the most important contribution of
rock dusts. It is why organic farmers add rock phosphates
to compost piles to increase bioavailable P. It is why
rock dusts are added to compost teas and foliar blends
and bioponic solutions. Put the minerals and biologicals
and organics in there together and let the frothy brew
of life work it over and re-arrange it and come up with
something new... a chelated compound, a biotic-mineral
complex, and so on.
