I just follow the recommendations on the packaging, which for BFB is 140g/m2 before planting then 70g/m2 for subsequent top dressings. The packaging normally says use every 4 - 6 weeks but usually I only apply it once in the spring then maybe again in summer for greedy plants like brassicas/squash/sweetcorn. Compost and mulch also adds a lot of nutrients, Charles Dowding doesn't seem to use any fertiliser for example.

In pots I use ~5g BFB per litre of compost. For hungry plants like tomatoes I feed weekly with soluble fertiliser after first fruit set.
