After you spend all that time tilling to create a nice loose homogenous soil
mix, you should firm it back up by grading, pulverizing, leveling, and then
use a cultipacker or roller so that when you walk over you leave only a 1/4"
depth track.

In the absence of soil test results apply 10-15 lbs of 10.10.10 and 50-75
lbs of dolomitic lime per 1000 sq ft.. Be sure to apply wheat straw at
about 2 bales per 1000 sq ft.. Water lightly but frequently for 10-14 days
then as needed. Followup in about 6 weeks with a high nitrogen turf grade
fertilizer at 1 lb actual N per 1000 sq ft.

How deep should one till?

'Till yer done!

That's what she said! But really, how deep should you till
for turfgrass?

Try to work the soil as deep as possible. Most small tillers are good
for 4"-6" depth which is fine. Be sure to work your lime and fertilizer
in. --

Really? How do you support your lawnmower and foot traffic on
such deep tilled soil, and what fertilizer should I till in?
