Gardening experts-some advice about amending my soil..?
I tested my soil(for a vegetable garden),the ph and potash came out fine,the nitrogen and phosphate was extremely low.I went to a garden center and they gave me Epsoma dried blood(12-0-0) and triple phosphate(0-46-0).I did not think to ask about details of how and when to add to the soil,because I figured directions would be on the bag-they weren't,and they weren't on the website either.It's hard to get in touch with the garden center at this time of year,so I could use some expert advice about when and how to add these to my soil.I live in zone 6.
I would like to know if someone could tell me the proper method and time to put these in my soil.Thanks in advance!

Put them in right now before you begin to plant anything. If you have a tiller, then till them in, or just use a garden fork and mix them in well. The blood meal can be put in very heavy since it will not cause problems. The super phosphate you have to be careful with since too much of it can cause problems. Below are a couple of links to help you.
