On rotovating: don't rotovate anything other than dryish soil unless you are looking for an authentic Somme look. Always rake and roll and repeat ad infinitum until the soil is evenly compressed and level, the back of a landscaping rake lightly dragged across the soil will tell you when. Rake very lightly before turfing or seeding. Hire the largest rotovator you can physically get into the garden.
On seeding: use about 1/4 of the quantity recommended on the packaging, that will be plenty!
