How big is the area (roughly?) and how long did it take to till? I am sure the round-up helped immensely.
The area is about 30-40 yards in diameter plus a 5 yard wide finger leading to it.
He weighted it down with a cut RR cross tie, about 50 pounds in weight. You could put a piece of plywood down and top it with 1-2 bags of corn.
It took him about 6 hours to smooth it up, put out seed, then turn it over and drag to cover.
Keep in mind, he had to clean it often as trash built up under it. No amount of weight will keep the drag down with the trash.
Please post pics of your plots!

I built one very similar to use at the ball park infield. I made a wood frame, predrilled the 2x6 runners and put 20 of the 6" nails per board, then put a cap 2x6 on top to keep the nails in the board. Works like a champ, definitely a 2 person job for quicker work. The trash/debris builds up quick under there. One pulling and another in good drop spot to flip it, pull the weeds out and flip it back over.
