Blooming Fertilizer 10-52-10? This fertilizer has made an amazing

Superphosphate (0-20-0), or "triple superphosphate" (0-45-0 or 0-46-0).
Should be available everywhere in 5# or 50# bags. Or you can buy a
soluble product similar to MiracleGro called "Superbloom".

For an organic source of phosphorus, try bonemeal.
