Built new raised beds . Purchased bulk soil . Soil test showed to add 3 lbs. of phosphorus (P205) per 1000 sq. feet . My raised beds total 200 sq. ft . so I should add .6 lbs. of phosphorus total . Is this correct ? I was thinking 5 lbs. of rock phosphate . Would this be right ? Also , ph tested 7.7 so was thinking 2 lbs. of Sulphur this year and retest next year . I am old and not real good at figuring this type of thing so any input would be appreciated . Thanks in advance .
