Flame I did this last year. I also studied a long time. I had a spreader truck come from the farmers coop and spread mine. He could back down in to the pond a bit and turn the spreader on. He also drove multiple times around the pond and spread up into the watershed. It wasn't ideal, but I know it helped. No matter how you do it, it won't be as good as spreading on a dry pond bed or spread out with a barge which might be pretty expensive. If you used a loader bucket pull into the pond the best you can and start easing it out and back out as your doing it. Or maybe if they bring you lime, go to NRCS or the COOP and get a spreader...many times they are free to use then spread it. Anything is better than nothing...spread all over your watershed. Find where the most water flows and put a lot there.

As for being dusty and such, I was walking around while they were spreading it...it is a bit dusty but just stay up wind. You are not wasting any of your time or energy. Put it in any way that you can get it in and it will benefit your BOW. This is just my opinion.
