Last month I dug a new garden for my dad and did a basic soil test with a store bought kit that said his nitrogen and phosphorous were practically non existent. The garden is about 200 sq ft and I added 8 lbs. of 4-9-0 bone meal along with ten 40 lb bags of .5-.5-.5 cow poo and eight 40 lb bags of a peat humus mix. My question is, do you think there is enough nitrogen in the soil? and if not, about how much blood meal should I add? All help would be appreciated.

Forgot to mention he's only growing tomatoes, peppers, broccoli and the like.

lol, nevermind. I just found some 5-1-1 fish emulsion he could use instead as needed.
