I haven't checked the PH for years and grow Just fine.... but I do agree that growing in alkali won't work. I guess I mean that PH doesn't matter once there is enough humus.
What is your recipe for compost tea? What are you putting in it?
I believe it is important to start with good soil, and only add compost tea when there are roots in the soil. I really can't see the tea helping with nothing growing in it, and it will be hard to grow if the soil is lacking.
Can you grow some clover or other cover crops and apply compost tea while this is occuring?
What about tilling more compost in along with some bales of Sphagnum Peat moss?
