Default south FL growers...

... can you help?

I'm growing on a really chalky soil, not unlike south Florida's Oolitic limestone, just much softer and chalkier. Any ideas on a fertiliser or soil improver to counteract the lime, which can lead to yellowing of the leaves.
I've got about 18" of soil before I hit pure chalk in which next to nothing grows, even the tree roots just turn sharply when they hit it.

P.S. send some sunshine over, too its been raining for days.
