All I'm concerned with offering the plot for fertilizer is P and K. I just don't know what the best way to apply it is and when.
P & K should always be mixed into the soil prior to planting when ever possible ... per soil test, in ammounts recommended forintended crop/plot ... per soil test.

Super phospate, or 0-42-0, 0-46-0, will work fine. 0-0-60 potassium/potash will be fine too. If you can only get 4 lb bags, go somewhere else. What herbicide do you want to use, and what type of seed are you planting, and when? For best results you want the plot weed/grass free weeks/months before you till or plant.
