Lawns - Best way to apply lime

I live in NH and have had my soil tested. Our soil pH is at 5.2. They recommended that we apply 92 pounds of lime per 1000 sq ft. I have just about 13,000 sq ft of lawn. So I have about 1200 pounds of lime to apply. I was considering getting a powered spreader to mount on my atv to help out with the lime...and I could also use it to spread salt/sand mixture on driveway in winter. Any better way to apply 1200 pounds of lime?

This is the unit I had considered trying out:
- Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices (http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=99621)

Also...when is the best time to apply the lime? It's a new lawn that was just seeded this spring, and it's not doing too well. Very patchy.

Thanks!

Best way? With a 2000 lb capacity rotating cone spreader behind a rather large tractor. That's how I do it, but I fill it up 3 times.
The unit you see will only hold 80 lbs max, so that's only 2-40 lb bags. You will get really tired (15 fill ups). There may be ground driven units that have a larger capacity that you can pull behind your atv, but you'd just have to look. You may be able to rent one, as well.
Liming should be done in the winter or late fall for the best effects. Liming now, won't have an effect on anything but your wallet. BUT, I'll bet after this fall you'll have a great yard. I don't even fertilize my acreage, but it stays really green with just the lime and roaming chickens all over.

Thanks Chandler. I may just give that unit a try for seed, fertilizer, and salt/sand in winter. I had thought about the capacity....it still beats using a walk behind drop spreader.

I'll see what units are available for rent in my area.

I'll wait until fall to lime too.

Thanks!
