Thanks, Mr. T, I already have a note in my phone as to your recipe and will be doing this next year.

There's no need in beating your tiller apart trying to break new ground. Just burn the vegetation down to expose bare dirt with a few applications of glyphosate. Soil test and broadcast your lime and fert as recommended per the test. Do your lime ASAP as it takes a while to work. Fert any time. Use pelletized if you can't hire a trailer or truck. If you try to save a dollar with crushed lawn lime broadcast manually you'll only do it once.

Wait for a for sure forecast of heavy rain for a couple/few days before broadcasting your seed. You really need soil moisture no matter your method. If it's been dry for an extended period the soil will suck up the moisture, leaving none for seed. It takes a coupe/few days of heavy rain if the dirt is bone dry.

It is better to have standing dead vegetation to mow or roll down on top but it's not necessary. Seed a bit heavier if you can't roll or mow standing weeds down. I'm talking weedeater or just drive your truck if nothing else is available.

Rye grain, wheat and oats will all work this way. Any seed smaller than buckwheat will work. Buckwheat or millet is your warm weather. I like to plant millet late summer to suppress weeds and make for better planting. Rye grain is about the easiest for cold it'll grow real cold and greens up in Spring well. Just hit it with nitrogen instead of replanting.

Real food plots are sized in acres. If you can't plant an entire area, put your seed around the edge and leave the middle alone. Deer mostly eat around the edge. I get my stuff from the local feed & seed.

I get mine local at JustinSeed.com , and just get rye-seed and whole oats from the local Atwoods store.
You might be able to find something closer to you - or check feed store can probably order for you.
