Soil Test - Check my math please

I'm working up a blend for amending my garden. I got my soil test and I averaged the recommendations for each crop to give me a general guide for adding fertilizers and lime.

I have a 60 x 120 garden which works out to 7200sf. My recommendations were:

Lime 1000lbs/acre
N 175lbs
P 100lbs
K 120lbs

I figured it out to

Lime 169 lbs/7200sf
N 29/lbs
P 17
K 20

I have Ammonium Nitrate 34-0-0 Super Triple Phosphate 0-46-0 and Muriate of Potash 0-0-60 so.....

85lbs 34-0-0
36lbs 0-46-0
33lbs 0-0-60

Also, should I apply this all at once or should I do it in two applications 6 months or so apart?
