This. I sprayed roundup with a light shot of 24D about a month ago. Last weekend I drug it to rake off the "hay"/dead grass and scratch the surface. Planted. Then drug it one last pass to try to cover it a little. A lot of seed was still exposed. It rained 2 days later.
I'll spread a little fertilizer on it in a few weeks once I know it took.
Eta: The day I went to drag and plant it, 3 doves jumped out of the road next to my planting strip. I was all like...
