RE: cant get lime to it
I bought a small spreader that fits on the tractor hitch & PTO. It will hold about 300 lbs. Cost was about $200. You can always have them dump the lime in a pile as close as he can get and then take it back with the tractor. If you want the plot, you will find a way. Some work on that lane could be a future project, which could also be planted in spots.
