Lava rock in garden beds


I went to Santorini a few years ago and they talked about how planting their tomatoes in the mineral rich lava rock helps add flavor and helps retain water since they hold water in their pores. They get little rain and the rock holds water. They often find the roots wrapped tightly around rock which helps break it down as well. Has anyone added lava rock not specifically for drainage or weed/pest control and more to add minerals or help with water retention during a drought?

Not sure if anyone has done this or posted about this but I had a thought that I am not sure will even work. Has anyone attempted to integrate an Ondol or radiant heat type system with a rocket mass heater? My thought would be to have the exhaust from the stove wind throughout the concrete foundation of the house (with clean out ports at a few ends of the house), then go up the side through a tall chimney. This might be a far fetched idea, but to use the whole foundation of the house as the mass I feel like would be very effective.
