blood meal is high in N (green growth), bone meal is high in phosphorous (root growth). i use both, incorporate into soil with compost when planting.

I plan on mixing compost, bags of worm castings, promix-bx, potash from fire pit, several bags of aged chicken manure, sand, some sea magic brew, deep tilling it into the soil and then sending off a sample to the lab for testing.
you should test 1st then add amendments, all that stuff will never give a reliable result from a soil test.
