here's what i do:
roto-till ground and allow soil to dry out for a few days before roto-tilling again. this results in very dry, chalky soil which i broadcast the seed on using a handcrank spreader. once the seed is on the ground i pull a homemade drag behind my atv to bury the seed no deeper than 1". that's it! no soil testing, fertilizer, herbicides, etc.. and the stuff grows like crazy.

good luck
