LIQUID BARLEY STRAW EXTRACT
Major price reductions!!
In recent years 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. Barley straw typically provides results for three to four
months. Apply second treatment three to four weeks before first treatment
is done to ensure no interruption in control. Natural, safe treatment for use with fish and plants Expect water to turn light brown (tea colored) after
applying barley. This is due to the breakdown of lignins and will
clear up shortly.
Recommended dosage is one bale per 75 square feet of pond surface area
