Sue,
Unlike you, I don't have great notes, other than this journal and my brain, I have nothing.

I'll start with the roots, when I harvested the 1st run plants, I simply cut out the root ball with a bread knife, leaving a hole to transplant into. Soil undisturbed.

The question of what was added other than water to my grow is a great one. I'll attempt to answer that.
Top dressing:
2X during plants entire life cycle. Equal parts mix of neem/crab/kelp, also a little chopped comfrey. I try to get the top dressings down below the mulch and cover them with a liberal layer of vermicompost.

ACT:
1X @ Initial transplant into the no till pots and 1X when I switched to 12/12

Botanical teas:
1X kelp/alfalfa tea in veg as a soil drench, and I also foliar fed with same mix 1X during veg.

Sprouted seed teas:
I slacked on these until I was in flower, but did manage to apply a few during flower.

Mulch:
I am always adding to my mulch layer. Things that seem to make sense to me.

By no means am I content with my program as of yet. On the contrary, I feel like I'm just getting a basic understanding of things now. But that's the beauty of growing this way. There is room to experiment, several routes to the same end, and much of the "recommended" additions can be subbed for what you can source locally for cheap.

The grow here is kinda stalled out, the pots are in a closet, waiting. I have a boatload of work to get done before I can build a new grow room here. I also have over a pound of cannabis atm, so I'm in no big hurry.

Did I answer everything decent enough there?
