How long does it take to spread lime by hand on food plots?

Question
In the latest video, you show lime being distributed with a hand seeder. But you talk about rates of 2 tons per acre. How long does it take to spread that much lime using a hand seeder?

Doug,
I only spread lime on small plots (1/8th of an acre or so) by hand. This still takes some time, but my spreader holds 50 pounds so I open the flow gauge up wide and spread each load quickly. I think the effort is worth it as mature bucks readily use high quality forage in small plots that don’t receive much hunting pressure!
