Hello guys, i hope you are well, its outdoor time and i must say better late than never, and im a little late on my outdoor grow and i need a little help please.
I found a nice forest of brambles/thorns 6-8 foot high near a river and i cleared a small nice patch facing south with a manual hedge trimmer, a gardening handsaw and some special gloves for thorns. it was fun and i prune a nice tunnel in the brambles. now i would like to prepare my soil with a few nutrients before planting end of june. i know its late to prepare the soil but as i said better late than never.
My plan is to check the pH of the soil and adjust with dolomite lime if necessary, add a nice organic fertilizer 7-6-12+4Mgo i bought and add some more phosphorus, here is my problem :
i follow a soil recipe where they add the organic fertilizer 7-6-12+4Mgo and some guano kalong 1-10-1+15Ca. i want to replace the guano kalong with a phosphorus organic fertilizer, its a 29% total phosphoric anhydride (P2O5) with 79% soluble in formic acid.
How much of my phosphorus nutrients should i add to replace the guano kalong 1-10-1 ? my phosphorus nutrients is almost three times stronger in P than the guano kalong so should i put three times less ?
does the two nutrients souces have the same availability of phosphorus ?
The manufacturer advise very low dosage compared to my calculation.
they advise 60 g / m² for the preparation of the soil
50 g / m² for planting flowers and vegetables
150 g / m² for planting fruits trees or ornemental trees
i calculated more than 400g / m² to replace the guano.
please advise me as i dont want to burn the plants and have some nutrient lockout.
thank you very much

Edit, i always posted the soil recipe in another thread but here it is, its Soma soil recipe :
50L worm castings
3 x 50L black peat
50L Organic potting soil
3 x 50L bags of Bio Bizz Light-mix
2KG Guano Kalong
2kg DCM organic fertilizer 7-6-12+4Mgo
1/3 of a 30L bag of perlite (10L)
2KGs Maerl (sea chalk for PH)
