Here's a recent post to Sanet with links to 
key articles from Acres USA, David Yarrow,

Here's an old paper on rock dusts from my ATTRA research,
copied by a company's web page without permission, not
because I have any association with them. 

Rock Dusts in Agriculure: Insights on Remineralization
and Paramagnetism.

You can see that I'm in favor of rock dusts and
sea minerals, agronomically speaking.  

Keep it simple, just add some.  Don't need to go
wild with high application rates.  A little bit here
and there helps microbes and roots along, improves
Brix, etc. 

Btw, the Remineralize the Earth web site you
listed is a classic source.
