So, did you spread all that or is it still in the truck?

I'm with you. On top of the fact that they still have to come spread 8 tons of lime on my fields which I still have not paid for. I could easily cancel that order and get it else where. I am going to give them another two weeks to get that done as they said they were backed up do to the weather conditions throughout February but I am a bit irritated that it has not been done yet. If it's not done by the end of next week I will more than likely cancel the order and see if someone else can do it especially since I have managed to by myself while working a full time job with a family managed to get down the fertilizer and the grass seed three week before the lime and nearly a month after being place on the lime schedule.

I NEED to look into another option next for no other reason than to have a second option even if I go back to them. It's just like have more than one grocery store in my opinion. But like I said before, this is our first year and for the most part new to us so we live and learn as we go along. Why do you think I ask you guys so many questions!!!

I pull the buggy home, crank up the engine, and auger the fertilize into my 3pt spreader. Cost $15 or $20 to rent for the day, but it a whole lot easier and faster than a shovel.
Also keeps from rusting out the back of the truck. That would be bad.

Agreed on rusting out the back of the truck. It's hard to tell from the pic but I had the tarp doubled over so the fertilizer is actually setting inside the tarp and not in the bedliner. Just some added precaution.
