Am I doomed to a puny crop this year? Potting soil issue

I do this in all my containers, and I think there is a benefit.

Yes, I'd gotten clued into Azomite a bit late in the game--I hear it's terrific for providing trace and micro nutrients at planting time (definitely using it next year). I had Epsom salts on my list to buy but had forgotten it the last time I was out shopping. I'll definitely get it today and start supplying it for them. Thanks!
