I have seen a contractor who reseeded fields by mixing it with the fertiliser. The pellets carried the grass seed and the results were pretty good.

I was going to broadcast my cover crop on and only drill the pea's - having seen vetch seed is similar in size to a pea so I might try and mix the two in a hopper, drill at the same time? I've got over winter barley as well to go in which I think might be pushing it having a three way mix going through our old drill! so probably broadcast that and a light harrow.
