throw'n'grow is crap. Use whitetail institute secret spot or imperial no plow. I've always had good results. You can find it at basspro. If you don't have access to a tractor or four wheeler, use a trimmer ("weed eater") with a grass blade or pushmower to clear the area if there is grass growing. Then rake it good with a metal garden rake, not a leaf rake. Try to break up the ground as good as you can, and at least have bare dirt visable. Depending on the size of your plot, make sure to use at least 1 to 2 bags (30-60lbs) of 10-10-10 fertilizer, slightly less if you use 13-13-13, and 100-150lbs or ag lime per 1/4 acre. Without it your plot will probably be disappointing. Put the fertilizer and lime out, re-rake. Then use a seed speader and spread the seed. Then re-rake again. All you have to do after that is hope for a good rain. It takes about a week or two to germinate and start coming in.
