I have several thoughts on this.

If an area is missing a trace mineral you aren't apt to get it near by.

Rock dust is heavy. It's got to be in the area of 2500 lbs per yard. Very expensive to move any distance.

I think if you pick the right rock dust based on a good soil test it could help.

If you are just trying to over come depletion I think I'd lean toward gathering organic material and planting deep rooted crops for compost.

The exception being ag lime.
