I used some no plow in a small plot I put in my apple orchard and it came up great, I lighting disced the surface with my atv disc, put down 150lbs of lime and 75lbs of triple 15 on the 1/3 acres. I also overseeded it with winter rye. The areas in the shade did not come up well, but the areas that received a lot of light did great. There were 7 scrapes along the edges of the plot.
