Both nitrogen and potassium are available in unlimited supply (and hydrogen from non-fossil sources can be used instead of hydrogen from natural gas). It's the phosphate, and possibly N2O emission, that constrain things. Eventually phosphate may have to be mined from average crust rocks, where it occurs at about 1000 ppm.

We can also be good citizens of the Earth and recycle the phosphorus we extract.
