That's where basalt comes in. Compared to other volcanic rocks, basalt weather relatively quickly which means it breaks down readily in soil. Applying finely ground basalt powder is like adding a fresh deposit of natural soil minerals to your garden. Plants that have access to soluble silica benefit in a multitude of ways. For example, silicon:
