The previous posts answer the question.

The Op is an experienced grower....


Dolomite is another great web search for application rates.......
I know of folks using the dolomite from the pool filter in their amazing gardens....dolomite is somewhat inert and you may use it in all your plantings..


If you have been discarding it in northern zones with clay soils .....keep it for your plants and garden...


Your location is sand.... dolomite is not be the best amendment for a sandy soil.
Will it work as an amendment ....yes.....but it has no real nutritional value
