My soil is sand, there actually was a bean farm where my house sits. So no coral to speak of other than 4 inches where the farmer used it to make a parking pad for his equipment.

That link is to azomite faq and it pretty much covers any and all questions you could ever ask. I use it because I get great results from applying it yearly about every 120 days . I might even add some from time to time extra but not to often. So I guess the answer to your question is I use Azomite to re-mineralize my sand/soil.. The difference for me is about 40% better. Yes I have actually raised plenty of Papaya before using it . once I put it on 4 trees and I was shocked at the difference.
At present I have 7 fruit bearing sized Papaya but that will soon change back to 10-12
