Clear Pond Water
At last my pond water has cleared; no more algae problems.
After using the local wild oats along the back roads of the Hawkesbury the femention has worked. A big problem since it is not filtered and has a couple of resident Koi among other local small fish species and frogs. I can now enjoy the fish at 15 inches below the surface plus the fery water plants etc. IT WORKS!! |

Never been on a farm in my life but I remember asking why the straw bales and got the answer you needed. Beats messy and dangerous chemicals..Why it works, not sure myself. Maybe its as you say fermentation.......... |

I'm sure its the fermentation Jonno, because its too much of a coincidence
that it has cleared to its fullest and the straw is now fairly mushy in the water. Where its staying! Don't want to go backwards from here. Cheers, thanks for the tip. Somewhere in my memory I can recall a decade or two back something about a farmer in the UK dropping it accidentl;y from his tractor going over his 'pond' (pommie dam?) and leaving it there where it cleared the blue green algae.

BigW sells little packets of rye (or maybe oat) straw specially for
clearing ponds. Mind you, you could by a whole bale of the stuff for much the same prices as the prettily packages 100g :-) "Potaroo" wrote in message ...

Yes, I reckon thats what happens with modern medicine too. There are
natural products available for virtually nothing, but they choose to use a rare chemical or chemicals or extract from the natural one to sell expensively. Result? A large amount of people who are being suckered and who pay too much for a product thats freely available.

Jonno, a good example is rolled oats. I suffer from allergies, used to be
extremely itchy, rashes like mad but luckiliy of an evening and not during the day at work. I used to place a cup of rolled oats (porridge) into an old synthetic sock and squeeze it into the bath. Magic cure! Now since it was disaclosed on the radio medical segment, its now available from the Chemists, neatly packaged as a natural remedy, at a price. Go to the supermarket for a tenth of the price. "Jonno" wrote in message ... Yes, I reckon thats what happens with modern medicine too.

Re Algal blooms.
I wonder if this same method could be sued to clear algal blooms theyre experiencing in stagnant rivers? Potaroo wrote: Jonno, a good example is rolled oats.

I've heard that they do it somewhere, can't remember which stream though.
The concentrated processed one that was originally spoken of in this thread has it on their web site as clearing streams. So I imagine the 'organic' method would apply also.

Interesting. So it may be a cheaper way to fix it if it works?
There's quite a lot of "shifty" things go on with government departments too you know....
