Not trying to be rude, but I am struggling to understand your post.
Not all herbs are the same, so some need different growing conditions.

Your herbs need a decent compost to thrive and there is no need to add any of the substances you have mentioned. I presume you are growing them in pots. I would use John Innes No 2 or 3 for established plants or a decent peat free compost such as New Horizon. The plants will need feeding after about six weeks in new compost and then weekly after that.
Oh really I heard that over feeding herbs makes them less tasty , do you know any organic fertilizer I could purchase on amazon ?
is potting grit worth getting ?
I suggest you look at all the other threads you started where you've already asked the same questions. Several people have already taken time to reply to all these questions
I live in west central Scotland - not where that photo is...
I'm pretty sure that I along with others have answered this question in great depth already.
Can I suggest you review your previous threads, and wish you luck.
