 Do I have to wrestle the damn little bags of lime and spread them on my
yard? Is it possible to purchase the stuff in a big spreader like at an ag
supply place and pull it around my yard with my jeep?

Yes, you should be able to buy lime in bulk at an ag supply. I doubt that
they sell it in a ready made spreader, I figure that you would need to
purchase a spreader seperatly. Something along the line of a trailer
mounted spreader that you tow with a tractor, unsure if you could pull it
with a jeep. If you do pull a spreader around with a jeep, take lots of
photos.... I'd love to see them!

You don't describe your yard nor do you include the number or size of
damn little bags of lime.

If you don't mind tire ruts and possible turf damage from turning the
jeep, use it. It would likely take less time and money to purchase a
push-type drop spreader and do it yourself or hire a local kid to do it for
you.

First, be certain you buy real lime rather than pelletized limestone.
Second, I heard recently there is a new liquid lime becoming available
in garden centers this year. Take a look.

What is wrong with pelletized limestone? that is what the garden center
sells.
