IF YOU HAD TO USE ONLY FOUR FERTILIZERS, (including microryza) which ones would they be and how?

Providing good soil, is already a given.

I understand the seaweed, kelp, myco, but the worm havnt heard much about it or how its used on a large scale. I could assume that it loosens the compaction of the soil.

Also the humic acid, just sprinkle or wet on to break down the organic matter in the soil?

I would use the worms for castings, they can be used as a soil amendment, side dressing, in the planting hole, to make tea.
The humic acid, I would till granular in and use soluble in your tea and as a light foliar.

I would have to agree with Tremer.Calcium nitrate, 0-0-50,potassium nitrate etc. From what i read mollasses, humic acid , fish ,seawead, kelp are soil conditioners not fertilizers.

Even though Molasses does not have a NPK Ratio. it is 1-0-5 ratio. But is not intended as a fertilizer.

This year, because of our soil test, we are going with;

0-0-50
Calcium Nitrate
K-Mag
Myco

...and most of the other soil conditioners mentioned above!!
