Was just wondering i hunt a farm in North central PA and do nopt have the ability to plow etc...the farmer won't lease either. He doesn't care about hunting and is very permissive (letting eveyone hunt his land)

Here is my question, how effect are those "no plow" "throw and grow" etc products with the use of just a rake to break up the top soil for seed to soil contact.

Any advice or experience would be appreciated. ( i know in the perfect world, lime fertilizer, water, plow, weed control etc but thats not where i am right now)
