Last fall ,with the help of the forum members ,I planted about a half acre of turnips,rape,and winter peas.All total for fertilizer,lime, and seed I would say I had about $100 into it.I mowed it as short as I could and sprayed it twice.Then I took an old rotary hoe that I pulled out of the weeds and built a small cultivator to pull behind the 4 wheeler.I used my father in laws pull behind spreader to spread the lime and fertilizer and used my lawn spreader for the seed,and just ran it over to pack it into soil.That's about as basic as you can get.
