i should also add that stuff like vermiculite and ion exchanger materials (other than carbon, which is this for nonpolar substances mainly) like zeolite also benefit plant health, but they do it also by buffering nutrients

i can't see how it is possible that adding carbon to the soil is harmful to any extent other than that the soil has been sterilised with shit like potassium chloride, that's a fairly common problem tho

more usually, there is so much phosphorus and calcium bound up from years of using superphosphate and gypsum that carbon actually unlocks the fertility of the soil, carbon, phosphorus and calcium are the most critical elements for plant fertility, calcium for stems, phos for flowers and seeds, and carbon to keep pH in a nice range with the help of bacteria and fungi
