I really wish I weren't serious...

...but does anyone know where I can get a hold of a 1-1.5 tons of quicklime?

(no...I'm not trying to dispose of a bunch of bodies)

Call a cement company.

[marq]

I'll try that. I usually think of quicklime as an agricultural product rather than a building product.

[whc]

See if AgriSupply knows where to get it in large quantity? I assume they sell it in bags, so they might know where to get it by the truckload.

[marq]

Oh there ya go...AgriSupply is my friend! Given how dense the stuff is, I'm expecting a ton would probably fit in a steamer trunk.

[neoliminal]

Um. WTF! What are you doing with that?

[marq]

what one normally does with quicklime (besides disposing of bodies), changing soil pH.

[whc]

I don't know how he intends to mix it in, but a tractor mounted rototiller is a wonderful thing!

[evcelt]

one really big body?

Just make sure you wear a hazmat suit when applying it. It may be a bit of overkill, but the neighbors reactions will be well worth it.

Should really do it with the ox pulling the spreader and have *him* wearing the hazmat suit
