What do I need to do after.......??

[VTbowman]

...the seed is on the ground???
I sprayed and ready to roll over the ground and then get it rototilled too.
After tilling I plan to use a hand spreader to broadcast the seed...
What do I need to do after that?
Should I drag it, roll it, or leave it alone.

I have an old box string mattress thats just the metal framing now I use to drag my gravel driveway.
I do not have anything to roll with..

Its Hamms Farm Trefole/Clover/etc seed if that makes a diff.

I'm glad you added that because it does make a difference. That is a very small seed that can't be planted very deep. After tilling the ground, pack it with a cultipacker or lawn roller, sew your seed, then pack the ground again. It would be best to time all this right before a rain.

The hamann farms clover trefoil grower blend is in our 1 acre plot. Would prepare a firm seedbed, then after broadcasting if a roller is available use that. If not I use a drag here and it works fine so long as you do not drag it over a loose bed. As suggested above, if you can sew your seed just before a rain, this will help a lot.

What we did was, after we tilled it, we spread the seed then we rolled it and then spread straw over top of it to help hold in moisture. Then we prayed for rain. It worked for us. But were new to this. Good luck

Yeah, you don't want to get it too deep. I think Martin himself suggests just broadcasting it right before a predicted rain.

I've thrown clover seed down with no dragging at all, just ran a roller over it to make good contact with the soil, and it came up fine.
