Bonemeal is a relatively cheap way of adding phosphorus (correct spelling), and is slow release. Bones contain a lot of calcium phosphate. Also contains some nitrogen.

A really cheap method is to water the garden with grey water collected from your clothes washing machine, because there are phosphates in washing powder. Though this is not slow release.
