I totally agree, which is why I use AACT for the first watering.healthy microbes is the key. the roots actually talk and send the microbes to fetch their food. you need to buy the book Teaming with micobes by jeff lowenfels. he has 3 books on the subject.
If it's not convenient or I don't have time to brew tea, there are other options.
Liquid Ass (Microbe Life Photosythesis Plus) is good, and Mammoth P is all the rage (though I've never tried it).
One thing I really like about organics is that plants regulate themselves (to a point). I ran a tomato this year using twice as much Epsoma Tomato Tone than was recommended on the bag -- and the plant did great! I gave it some molasses + potassium sulfate at the end and the fruit was fantastic.
