About every 2 or 3 years I spread damp lime on my hay fields, normally early November. I had 60 tons brought in right before thanksgiving. But the spreader I borrow was not available for 2 more weeks. I put tarps over the piles and tied them down to posts but the wind blew them off. After about 2” of rain the piles froze up in early December. I started spreading right before Christmas. Except for frozen chunks, things went ok initially. But then the piles started thawing and the moisture migrated and then it became like scooping and spreading tooth paste. I finally finished up yesterday. A 2 day job took about 5.
Day 1. The neighbor’s white chicken, apparently.

Everything thawed out here over last 2 weeks. The toothpaste is done with. Happy new year.
