    Its a waste of time spreading urea after lime as the urea doesn't work. You have to wait a certain amount of time before you can use urea again after land has been limed. I would think it would be the same with gran lime.

    plenty of nitrogen, mix a bit of grass seed in with it , an acre and a half should take about 20 minutes and all you need is a bucket and a glove to spread it.

    Aside from the straight urea- there are different ones out there- 7:6:17, 5:5:10, 10:10:20, 7:7:7 for example. Most of us are well familiar with the benefits of 10:10:20 (N:P:K)
    I'd be more inclined to go with 10:10:20 than straight urea- but without knowledge of the site- its pure guess work.....
