You do NOT want to disk in seeds as small as you are working with. It would much better to broadcast and leave it on top of the ground with no packing or dragging than disking them in more than 1/4" deep. More than 1/2" deep and you probably will never get them out of the ground.

Disking in the fertilizer is great. Just do the seed on a different run.

Okay thanks! I'll finish off the weeding and spraying and then have the fertilizer disked in. Then go back a little later and broadcast the seed.
