    Version 2 of #pond big pot lifter on a flying fox, that is movable at both ends and thus allows reaching most of the #pond middle. Photo from today, still had 3 lilly flowers, but not many buds left to bloom now after 6 and a half months flowers this season.

    Blocklifter in action, blue rope has been pulled to release the lifter. Long trough/planter is prepared to place on the metal grate in the #pond which will also have some lilley pots and hopefully hide two pump large boxes.
