You can spread it and disk it in right before you plant. If you don't get it encorporated into the soil the nitrogen will dissipate.

 

Like Magis said it is best to disk in your fertilizer. I am not sure if you are planting seperate plots or not but the brassicas could suffocate your clover. So I would plant half your plot in brassicas then the other half in clover/alfalfa/oats. Brassicas love nitrogen so 46-0-0 urea (approx 100-200lbs per acre) will do the trick there. For your clover/alfalfa you would want some 6-24-24 (200-300lbs per acre should get you in the ballpark).

 

I myself prefer to apply the lime. fertilzier at the same time nothing else no discing it, it only moves it below the seed and as the rain comes it just washes it quicker away from the seed and it will be gone. I put down the lime (dolomite / pelletized) then the 12-12-12 or 19-19-19 and then broadcast the seed over it and then lightly rake in the seed to get good contact with the soil and then walk over the entire area to pack it together and then hope for a good rain...

But I have no farm equipment and have to do everything by hand and it seems to help with getting plots to grow...
No expert just what works for my situation having most sand as the soil.

Sorry, that's not correct at all. Nitrogen MUST be encorporated into the soil or it will dissipate very quickly into the atmosphere. You're just wasting the nitrogen unless you get a good heavy rain within 24 hours. Also, where the seed is doesn't matter. What matters is where the roots will be.
For lime to be most effective, it should also be worked into the soil. It doesn't not move through the soil by itself very well.

 

thanks for the advice

Thanks guys really appreciate the help. I'm in the same position with no large equipement.. All my work is done with my quad. It does the trick, looking to add alfafa, soybeans, corn , oats and some peas through out the spring and overseeding in the fall for winter forage.
