When I plant my brassicas, I put a small handful of lime in the hole itself, I then put in the plant and fill in with soil, I then sprinkle lime around the base of the plant on top of the soil:)

I don't bother with manure, but at this time of year, I would fill a sackful of manure and dump it in one of your blue bins for rainwater and let it "brew" for a week or so, and then use your watering can to fertlise your plants.
