I found this article that says to separate nutes and lime in application to soil or pot.
The best time to add lime is in the fall. Just after you've cleaned up the vegetable beds and raked the leaves off the lawn. Lime is dusty and can get into your lungs, so use a facemask before opening the bag. The application rate should be printed on the bag. Set your lawn spreader to the application rate and release just like you're fertilizing. For smaller or raised beds, you can use a hand spreader or a plastic cup, keep the dust off of plant leaves. Always err on the less is better side. Water well so that the lime doesn't burn the leaves of plants.
Lime takes a long time to work it's way into the soil. It works slowly; you won't see result for a while.
Wait a minimum of 30 days before adding fertilizer. Lime and nitrogen counteract each other. They neutralize the other one and actually turn into ammonia. The basic meaning is: all the money you just spent on lime and fertilizer was a big giant waste. That's why we lime in the fall and wait until spring for the first fertilizer application. The years we lime the lawn, we skip the fall & winter fertilizing. Plants, just like us, don't like living in ammonia.
Wait until spring to fertilize and do so according to the package instructions
