That's a lot of money. I just spent $330 to have 16 tons of bulk lime and that included delivery. It was delivered on Friday and I bought a $40 for a tarp to put over it and now I should have enough lime for my plots for the next 10 years. It was dry so it spread fine with my ATV pull behind broadcast spreader, but I still have to load the lime into the spreader by hand so that was a pain in the butt.
I'm going to try spreading the lime using a leaf blower when I spread 3000 pounds in a couple weeks. I'm planning to use the tractor bucket to load the lime on a trailer and slowly drive the truck and trailer around while blowing the lime off with the leaf blower. In theory that should be a good way to spread the lime, but it will be interesting to see if it actually works as well as I think it should.
