i'm looking for info (pref. first hand) on the increase in yeild as well
as taste and general quality of foods planted on remineralised soil.

I know that people use glacial rock-dust and seem to be getting excellent
results.

also if anyone has the scientific data on the mineral contents of vegetables
from both remineralised soil, and normal organic, and chem. agro$$farming 

and if it's not asking too much, has anyone got info on the link between a 
stronger immune system (for the plant and the eater) from feeding the microbes
little bits of rock dust? 

thanks for your help.
