Mulching prevents heaving, and allows for seeds to germinate later to prevent Spring freeze injury.

A stiff wire cover of some sort is also nice, to keep animal damage to a minimum. Seems as if something is always walking or digging in a seed plot. Birds are notorious for plucking little seedlings out, too.
