Buy a decent secondhand spreader keep it a couple of years and sell it, would you lose much on it??

Be like hens teeth would they not, a nice small bredal? Would love one myself for same convenience of trimming your own hedges

Looking for an even smaller scale lime spreading idea!

Going to be using a lot of Hydrated lime in the lambing pens from now on.

Spreading by hand is horrible dirty work, and not the most accurate, a bag goes nowhere chucking it out with a scoop.

Anyone seen a good idea for this?
That can meter the lime out to an extent?

Walk faster/slower? Fast/slow on the drill?

You’d want to be using a cheap drill with it, the lime dust will kill it

Now isn’t that a clever idea, ideal for small scale horticulture?

I think the intended use is liming cubicle beds but would work for horticulture scale too I’d say.

Lidl have a battery Powered garden fertiliser spreader sometimes which may also work @AYF

 

[Yellow-belly greenhorn]

It's actually due in this thursday 22nd.
I'd say it's too small to be much use unless doing a tiny area. Lime might wreck it quick enough too. Perhaps worth a look at tho in store.

@AYF not sure if it’s in your side of the water but spotted it in the local one today

Does it have section control a nd qualify for tams?

I’m not sure but a good dose of guiness and some fairly liquid the day before may work as a bout marker

 

[drew]

Might need to use the dribble bar.

I was going to suggest shorts may be advisable but a pipe system may be better

Youd be dribbling , unknowns to yourself..

I’m not sure if you ever got sorted, but this is for sale in the ballymena mart monthly auction and I thought of this thread.

Or this fine machine

That looks ideal for someone that wants to spread a handy bit of lime

I spoke to someone who tried to spread lime with one of those. You'd want to be handy with a shovel

 

[Bog Man]

I think Contractors would spread low rates of lime if there was a different price structure rather than by the tonne .
