Greensand is a source of potassium, as is kelp meal, only much less
expensive.  I use kelp meal because my soil already has a pretty good
supply of potassium, but kelp meal provides hundreds of trace nutrients
and hormones and growth regulators that really add that "finishing
touch" to the plants.  I am convinced that my use of kelp meal makes my
potatoes last longer than they did back when I was using just compost
and "chemical" fertilizer.  (I'm having potatoes and onions for
breakfast today -- ones that I harvested last August!)
