pre-emergent is nice. Prowl or treflan. Not even sure if they attack the same stuff...but you might check. what is your weed situation? not wanting to buy any off you, just wondering if you have grasses or broadleaf weeds.
get a soil sample. people always told me to do this and i never did. then, i finally did and it is amazing what the CORRECT fertilizer and lime will do to an average plot.
that being said, once you get your dirt ready, are you going to broadcast and drag or do you have a drill?
then, you have to decide about cost. you can get some kick-ass seed from wannamaker wildlife seed company in st matthews that is a good summer plot of peas and beans. it is about $30 per bag. it will grow on pavement. OR, if you are just getting started and kind of want to test the waters, i would get combine beans. they are cheap ($10 or so) and will grow, too. they cant handle getting browsed, but at least you can watch deer eat them.
--i think you can buy treflan or prowl anywhere. no license needed. check out carolina eastern in columbia. that is the only place i know...but i am sure wannamaker could tell you somewhere closer to o'burg.
hope this helps...i am NOT a farmer. Sportin' Woodies might be able to help, too, if Duckman doesn't jump his shit.
Ugh. Stupid people piss me off.
