Ziwaneh Soil formula for high brix food, per acre (for 100 square feet, divide by 435.6)

1/1 calcium (4000# per acre*),
1/9 magnesium (444#),
1/9 potassium (444#),
1/9 phosphorus (444#), should = potassium
1/9 iron 222ppm (444#), 100-300ppm ok
1/18 sulfur (222#), 1/2 of phosphorus, up to 600ppm ok
1/36 sodium 55ppm (111#), 16-99ppm ok (avo's burn @115ppm)
1/36 chlorine 55ppm (111#), 1-2x sodium
1/36 manganese 55ppm (111#), 1/3 - 1/2 of iron, 33-150ppm ok
1/90 zinc 22ppm (44#), 1/10 Phosphorus, 7-50ppm ok
1/90 nitrate nitrogen 22ppm (44#),
1/90 ammonium nitrogen 22ppm (44#),
1/180 copper 11ppm (22#), 1/2 of zinc 3.5-25ppm ok
1/1000 boron 2ppm (4#). 1-4ppm

1/9 trace minerals as kelp (444#)
1/9 Trace minerals as azomite (444#)
1/9+ nitrogen and harmones as alfalfa (444#)
4-10%+ organic matter

The above amounts are acheived by adding to what is already in the soil. Do not add these amounts to your soil! A soil test is needed to determine the amount already there which is then subtracted from the above amounts. To get the proper amount of these elements into your soil, you will have to add them in the form of amendments which contain only a small percentage of them. Soil testing should be repeated every few years.

Not too much nitrogen, but some, from 12-12-2 guano, alfalfa meal, compost or worm castings. If alfalfa is used as a nitrogen source, the amount can be well above the 1/9 mentioned above.
For calcium, use calcitic lime and calculate it at 39%( the amount of calcium in lime, so that 100 lbs of lime have to be applied in order to add 39 lbs of calcium to the soil.) Gypsum has both .22 calcium and sulfur(compute both), and Dolomite Lime has calcium and magnesium.
Don't use rock phosphate for phosphorus because of heavy metals and radiation, use high phosphorus guano instead such as Primal Harvests 0-12-1. Potasium Sulphate for potash. Sea Salt or kelp for sodium and chlorine. Zinc sulfate, copper sulfate, iron sulfate, maganese sulfate are safe to use. Use borax laundry additive for boron. Nitrogen from 12-12-2 guano, alfalfa meal, or worm castings.

Do not over apply these ammendments, except for worm or azomite, lest an over abundance of one element squeeze out another. The limit, per year, for kelp is 444# per acre which equals 1# per 100 square feet.(444# of kelp contains 17# of sodium). Kelp and Azomite can be reapplied at these amounts ever other year or so in heavy rainfall areas like the pnw. The pnw also looses about 500# of calcium each year to rain and crop production, so this should be replinished each year by its addition in Yesai's Mix.

Yesai's Mix(Use 16 cups for 100 sf):**

6 cups 12-12-2 guano,
4 cups alfalfa,
2 cups Calcite lime
2 cups kelp,
2 cups azomite
6 cups worm castings

(plus 8 additional gallons of worm castings or 15 gallons of compost)

For a 4'x20' bed, each year initially apply 13 cups Mix & 12.5 gallons compost*. This should be sufficient for low demand crops like beans, carrots kale. Add 1/2 cup mix in hole at planting and side dressings (every 3-4 weeks) for medium demand crops like tomato and corn until another 6 cups or so has been added. Add another additional 6 cups side dressings for high demand crops like celery.

**(Mix per year @ medium strength for 6000sf beds & lite strength for 100 8' diameter semi-dwarf fruit trees): 225# guano, 180# alfalfa, 240# lime, 58# kelp, 58# azomite. $500 gardens & orchard)

*4000# based on an average CEC of 15.
