Bob,
I'm not sure about the aluminum but calcium can be added with calcium
nitrate fertilizer or gypsum which helps with drainage for clay soils. If
you add lime to acid soil that should also make some calcium available.
Alaska Fertilizers makes a concentrated liquid of chelated iron with zinc.
It's sold in pint and gallon containers. I'll have to do a little homework
to find out what could help you put aluminum in the soil as a supplement.
I'm looking for a safe way to add Boron. Maybe a solution of Borax? Does
anybody have experience with this?
