Bigmac,
I think that many that see that handle think other things much worse than the GlobeTrotters.
Actually it is the name of our "Ranch" up north of Livingston. I'm sorry I haven't answered your questions...I didn't see them until just now. I haven't been here much lately and haven't posted anything in a couple of months.
I buy all my fertilizers and lime from Groveton Mill, located in Groveton Texas. I kind of doubt that they will travel that far to your place, but it doesn't hurt to try. The $35 per ton I quoted was the total price, delivered and spread. I suspect that has gone up a good bit because of fuel costs this year. I haven't priced it yet this year but will probably take an order in June.
How far does it spread the lime? Actually a surprising distance. I'm going to guess at least 25 feet in every direction, maybe more. If you are standing beside it, you will be sand-blasted.
Why ag. lime vs dolomite? Because ag. lime is proven to work, is readily available, and very cost efficient when purchased and spread in the manner I recommend. It will last you at least 5 years.
I can get you the phone number for those folks in Groveton this weekend, assuming you are still interested and I haven't been banned from the Forum yet.
Dang, Bigmac, it's been fun for me to write a response again. I hope you have as much fun reading it as I did writing it.
