Water Gardening: feeding the lilies, 0 by fredrump

While I'm at it I have another question. Has anyone developed a system to put food pellets into the root systems of water lilies? My arms aren't long enough to get down there without dunking myself in the water.

There must be a way to use a stick of some kind to push the pellets down into the pots without making a mess. I was thinking of finding a pvc pipe of the inside diameter of a pellet and having a smaller push stick inside the larger. Then push them down into the muck and pushing the smaller pipe to release the pellet. Anybody ever do anything like that? Or is there a better way?

PS my lilies are hungry.
