It looks like I need around 20 tons of lime for my 7 acre lake.

Question is:

I cant afford the cost to have a barge come in and spread the lime across the surface of the pond. So I am wondering could I just have a dump truck load of Lime dumped in a central spot and then I can move it around with my bucket / tractor into some areas where rain will wash it into the pond?

Will it cause harm if hits the water in concentrate as the water washes it in?
