Tomato Flavor

I haven't tried rock dust, but I do like greensand as a soil amendment.

Kelp4less sells humic acid. I have some. It looks like black powder. I'm not positive that humic acid as an amendment has all the magic of good compost, but I still use it. I actually buy the "extreme blend" from kelp4less and use it as my seedling fertilizer. It is four parts: kelp, plus humic, fulvic, and amino acids, which are the four naturally-occurring growth hormones. A little goes a long way. I bought two pounds last year, and I still have half of it left. Adding any organic compound to tap water will at least neutralize the chlorine/chloramines in the water.

And I don't know for sure the impact on flavor, but mycos do help speed growth. An ounce of mycogrow from fungi perfecti is $5 and lasts me multiple seasons.
