Most of my ideas don't go off as planned. I thought I could use my salt spreader for lime but was worried it would not spread. It actually worked. I spread 2.5 tons of lime today. A lot of snow contractors in the north have these types of spreaders. If you are looking to have a small amount of lime spread it might be worth calling a couple.
I drove a hour home in pouring rain! Looks like rain for the next 5 days. When it stops I will pressure wash the spreader, yank it out and not think about snow again until November.
