What kind of soil do you have? Clay? Sand? How big is the plot going to be?
If soil is anything other than sand you can consider small grains, clovers, turnips, lots of things. Have a soil test done and make amendments to soil. Spray about 3 weeks before seeding with GLY or RU. After complete chemical burndown, rake up the ground to loosen top soil, broadcast seeds, then lightly rake a second time. The final step is either pack or seed just before a minimum of 1/2 inch rain.
