Does anyone know of organic sources of Potassium?

I live in FL and have a 4000sqft. organic maintained St.Augustine (floratam) lawn.

The University of Florida IFAS Extension states: In Florida, Turfgrasses require potassium in nearly the same amount as nitrogen, especially in sandy soils where both can readily leach out.

I am currently using soluable seaweed powder, as a foliar spray (npk of 1-0-4) along with my regular feeding program.

    I just got back my soil analysis from tp&sl and had a similar outcome. I need to add potassium.

    They recommended Langbenite (preferred), rock dust, greensand or there is 0-0-60 mineral available in some places as well.

    These are all excellent suggestions, Unfortuatly they are either not available in my area, or too expensive to cover 4000sqft. Thank you though.

    Langbeinite, also known as Sul-Po-Mag.
