Humega 1/2 gallon per 1000 sq. ft.
Humic Acid 5 lb per 1000 sq. ft.
Zeolite 42 lb per 1000 sq. ft. (I only had 50 lbs, so this is the application rate it worked out to)

Gypsum 5 lb per 1000 sq. ft.
Zinc 1 oz per 1000 sq. ft, to be repeated later in the season
Copper 0.1 oz per 1000 sq. ft. (not sure how I will apply such a small amount, other than mixing it with a higher amount of another amendment)
Borax 1/2 cup per 1000 sq. ft.
11-52-0 6.73 lb per 1000 sq. ft. (see my blog [thebigpumpkin.blogspot] for how to calculate amounts of fertilizer based on a soil report)
