Your first post sounded pretty excited. Your next post sounded a little disappointed. Pretty easy for the experts to burst a bubble....
I agree that you should have a soil test done before you do any tilling. Get it and send it in. Then I would apply the lime and till it in. Spread your seed and fertilizer and then drag it to cover the seed. If it grows, great. If not, live and learn.
This is not going to be a popular reply....but say the test says that you need 3 ton/acre. How are you going to get 9,000 lbs of lime to your plot? Is an airplane going to drop it like forest fire retardant? 50 lbs at a time in a backpack?
I'm not trying to offend anyone, but I'd get in there and plant it.
