My lilies are at the bottom of a 40 inch pond. I would like to find a
convienent way to push fertilizer tablets into their pots that avoids
wading and dunking.

How do others deal with this problem?

My pond is not quite so deep, but I found a 1/4" dia. X 48" wood dowel
and a piece of tubing the right size to fit the tomato stake type
fertilizer about 1/4"dia. by 2" long and that worked for a couple
years. Push the rod and tubing into the soil in the pot a couple
inches and remove the rod, drop in the stake and push with the rod.
