Yup, ... Also, make sure you clear away as much grass, etc. to expose as much soil as possible. You could spray a glysophate product like roundup, let it all die, rake out the dead grass and weeds, and broadcast before expected rain. As mentioned by dvallilee, make sure you get plenty of rain if you're not planning on packing the seed down after broadcasting.

Keep us updated though if you decide to use it, because I'm interested to see how it does. I'll post some pics of mine once it is planted and coming up. Someone correct me if I'm wrong (the bag's not in front of me) but I think its just a mixture of some rape seed, oats, clovers, and something else... I think some other kind of brassica
