I got a bail of straw now I want to use it on my waterfall pond. Can I
just
put it in a bag like what you get oranges in? Should I pack it in really
tight or kind of loose? I was thinking of putting it in the upper fall
pond
area does it make a difference where you place it? And how much should I
use, can you use to much? The pond is about 1000 gal.
Any and all help on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
