B-Tech,

If you haven't bought the lime at Home Depot already, don't. I assume it's bagged lime. You are going to pay WAY MORE for it than if you take a truck or trailer to a place like a co-op that sells it. You get so much more if you buy in bulk. They charge $25 a ton by me in Wisconsin.

In regard to the phfertilizer, Biologic states that the lime in phfertilizer only lasts about 1 year and you are back to square one with teh acidity level. This is also stated by the Dougherty boys in the book "Grow "Em Right." I think you'll be much better in the long run with regular Ag lime.

I started just like you did with the bagged lime. Like Ron M said, do it like they do it on the farm. If lime truck can get into your plot, over even a dump truck it will be alot easier. SOme of our plots we can only access with a small trailer and ATV. We have just spread it around with shovels and rakes, but I will try the new idea someone suggested about the leaf blower and blowing it off the trailer.

Good luck
