Default Lime and Fertilizer transport and applications

I plan to plant several small food plots that are in some challenging terrain. Where to I get lime from and how do I get it to the food plots. How do I spread the lime once I get it there? I have never delt with lime or applying it and help would be appreciated.

Liquid fertilizer vs. Pellets
Which is bettter and how do you make it work?

Look to the nearest Agricultural co-op. That's where farmers get their lime. They'll truck it for you (for a price) or you can haul it yourself if you've got a pickup or a trailer. Lime is granular. You can spread it by hand, out of a bucketor with a fertilizer spreader. The same goes for fertilizer. Stay away from liquid fertilizer. It costs more to transport and you'll need special equipment to spread it.

Stop by your local Tractor Supply and they can set you up.
