EasyPro Barley Straw Bales
The use of barley straw has become an increasingly popular way to improve water quality in ponds and water features. This technique, however, is actually a tried and true technique that has been used in Europe and other parts of the world for many years. When properly applied, naturally occurring organisms decompose the lignins in the barley, releasing humic substances (dissolved organic carbon) into the water. In the presence of sunlight and oxygen, those compounds are converted into low levels of hydrogen peroxide. The hydrogen peroxide is the component that modifies the pond chemistry to ensure water quality.
- Each one pound bale treats approximately 100 square feet of pond surface area.
- Each bale lasts approximately three to four months.
- Apply a second bale to pond four weeks after first treatment is done to ensure no interruption in water quality.
- Safe, natural product - no threat to fish or plants.
- Waters treated with barley may turn tea-colored. This is due to the break down of the barley and usually clears up within a week or two.
