It seems to me that any test with rockdust is probably best kept as simple as possible, ie, few variables. We’ll take one of our raised beds and add rock dust to one end of it while leaving the rest untouched. Then we’ll grow the same things in each section.

The seeds that I have are tiny although sweet. I went to the link you suggested. They ship within the Continental U.S. I don’t live there so that’s a problem. Thank you for your offer of seeds from you crop. I do appreciate it. I’ll mark my calendar to drop you a reminder note. LOL
The soil in this video is fantastic looking – http://youtu.be/Blxe7S41q9s?t=3m22s and all he is doing is using no till and cover crops. As a smallholder, I can do things that he can’t. By incorporating green manures into an Emilia Hazelip approach, I minimally disturb the soil and constantly improve its tilth.
We don’t use rock dusts – http://www.paramountgrowth.com/images/rockdust_sdiver01.pdf but will be trying a a side by side comparison this year.
