No Moor Three Man Lifting
Hi all,
How many of you own large heavy trees ? and how many of you struggle at re-potting time ? Well this may help. I have quite a few large substantial mature Bonsai and re-potting sometimes poses a problem if there's no one around to help.Five of my trees requires at least two people to move them. Well,I have now overcome this problem with the help of an engine crane,engine crane I here you say! This is a fantastic piece of equipment for those extra big and heavy trees they can be safely suspended,cushioned at the point of contact protecting all that lovely deadwood freeing up both of your hands to carry out the work required.Once suspended at the required height you can even slide your work bench underneath then once the work has been completed you then gently lower back into the pot with no damage to yourself or the tree's,no moor damaging priceless deadwood or snapping branches and its easier on the remaining root ball rather than dragging and bumping it about. I hope this may help someone out there Regards Terry |

That would work! A block and tackle arrangement or this idea posted recently, would also be options.

Or just enrich your vocabulary of curses and expletives. Learn to use cussing artfully---weave a tapestry of obscenity when you drop that 75 lb bonsai on your foot, paint the spring afternoon air blue with four letter exclamations when you snap off a branch you've been working on for five years...

An open free draining mix helps lighten the load a lot!
