ianc is an unknown quantity at this point
how deep are these concrete ponds -do you pump them totally dry or is thier some water left - I made up some steel cages and place all the waterplants in the basket and sink them to the bottom of the pond for the winter - I have a rope lead I tie off to
a tree or rock and in the spring feed my chain using the rope thru the basket and pull it out with the backhoe - I overwinter 40-50 tropical lillies and assorted marginals this way for the last 5 years
with great sucess
