Anybody know any natural soil supplements to enhance plants production?

Humans often add natural or synthetic soil supplements to enhance plant production. I need atleast 10 commercial availible soil supplements-You dont have to give 10. Just list the ones you know.

There are many single product supplements so people can blend their own fertilizers. Many are regional byproducts of other industries. Feather meal is a by product of poultry slaughter as hoof/bone & blood mea as byproducts of other slaughter houses. These products tend to offer one of the 3 major plant nutrients N/P/K.
.
Blood meal- nitrogen
Bone meal- phosphorus
Various forms of composted manure such as , chicken or bat guano to steer manure.
Alfalfa meal
Cottonseed or soybean meal
Fish meal or fish emulsion
Seaweed emulsion
Dolomitic limestone for calcium
Rock phosphate
Greensand (mined rock sand for potassium)
Epsom salts

Custom organic mixes are possible
N/P/K = 2/8/2
3 parts greensand
2 parts seaweed
1 part dried blood
2 parts phosphate rock
