I read somewhere that lentils beans have 25% phosphorus if blend them up as a dry bloom fertilizer & layer da bottom of my lasagna soil would it up take like coffee grounds for nitrogen i also have white rice anyone ever think to use it as a dry soil amendment/fertilizer

got bored at my shop, did some research...
it's roughly 1% phosphorus
you were probably looking at the RDA, and probably looking at the potassium
which is around 21%
but that's the RDA, the recommended daily allowance for a human diet.
it's roughly 3.7% phosphrous
around .5% mag, and around .6% calcium
if you like bean meals I'd go with neem meal or karanja six days a week and twice on sundays over any other bean or nut meal
soybean and cottonseed are others too, but I don't like those much, the soy is massivevly GMO'd (means more likely it's sprayed with Monsanto shit)
and the cottonseed is acidic.
and don't layer your soil for any reason...
ever..
I also wouldn't go with coffee grinds as the sole nitrogen input either, you want that more composted rather than a soil additive.

liking you more and more:hug:

do these beans need to be composted first?

well, i'd speculate that it would, basicly all organic inputs have to have that interaction/cycling of the microbes first, although vegetation inputs tend to become bioavailable much quicker than the other nutrients do
so that all being said i'd use/mix any type of dry organic meal in the soil for at least a good 30 days prior to using
to be safe anyways.
it never hurts to wait a lil longer than needed while conversely you CAN piss off the plant if you plant it in a soil not cycled yet
I reaaaaally like a cover crop to indicate the availability of the nutrients, you can plant those on ANY soil and they tend to grow, but you'll see a very clear and obvious change once the soil is ready, the cover crop will just EXPLODE in growth
