An idea you might wish to try on your soils - adding charcoal and making 'terra preta nova'

Here they soak the bio-char in ammonia nitrate fertilizer

And if you bury the carbon char, work done in the amazon shows it stays in the soil for 1000+ years. (Get the carbon out of the air and into the soil.)
