4. Well, that depends on what's already in your soil.

If you have a soil test done, it will tell you the phosphorus level, along with everything else.

My garden has been a garden for so many years, with yearly doses of fertilizer, that it was extremely high in available Phosphorous, so I don't have to add that for several years.

Nothing says you can't buy a separate phosphorous supplement and use it at the same time, like rock phosphate or bone meal.
