The left over grass is OK as long as its really dead. I use a set of disks to rough up the soil - and a cultipacker to press the seen into a firm bed. You really want a firm seed bed -(not fluffy soil) for clovers. The chaff can work to help keep moisture in - just make sure you seed heavy enough because some wont get down to the soil where it needs to be for good germination.

The little plots are fun - the bigger plots can be a lot of work - but the rewards are maginfied.
Its better to start small, until you have some good success - and then get bigger, and bigger.

Here's a couple pictures of one of the larger clover plots I maintain from this and last year.
