How Barley Straw Works

As barley straw decomposes in water, it releases natural compounds that inhibit algae growth. This process is most effective when used as a preventive measure before algae blooms occur. The straw works gradually over time, providing long-term algae control without harming fish, plants, or beneficial bacteria.

Application

Place the barley straw bale in your pond in early spring before algae growth begins, or when water temperatures reach 50°F. Position in a well-oxygenated area with good water circulation, such as near a waterfall or pump outlet. One bale treats approximately 1,000 gallons. Replace every 4-6 months.
