Don't add garden fertilizer in the fall. The nutrients, especially the
nitrogen, tend to wash out during the off season. All you are doing is
polluting and wasting your money. Fertilize when the garden is growing
and the plants need it.
If you need to add lime, you can do that in the fall. Also anything
organic can go in now such as chopped leaves or the grass clippings. I
thing your other ideas are all good.
