My pond just had its first Algae Bloom! what do I do?????
BV,
All references I have seen say barley straw. Most likely what you have is wheat straw. I don't know if it would work or not. Mixed in the clay, it might make good adobe bricks, if you could get it dry. -- RichToyBox http://www.geocities.com/richtoybox/pondintro.html "BenignVanilla" m wrote in message ... "Chester Deja" wrote in message om... If you want a no-hassle long term natural combatant for algae then just use barley straw. I added 1/3 bale to my 35'x55'x4' pond and within 3 weeks crystal clear water with NO string algae and NO other hassles. Now I can see my thousands of minnows swimming around. That's what I get for throwing in 9 dozen of them 2 months ago. Our new wild rescued from the side of the raod turtle has pleanty of food he can 'see'. Not to mention the thousands of tadpoles. snip Is this the same straw you get in bales at a garden center? I just tossed some down around my pond to help the grass take root, and to try and keep the mud in place. I wonder if I should toss some in the pond? Hmm...Bonnie help...I am going to meddle again...

Mixed in the clay, it might make good adobe bricks, if you could get it dry. snip I believe it. We laid some bricks down on the lawn in a rough pattern to see how a nice walkway would look past the pond. I then poured some clay/water/clurry mix from around the pond over the bricks. After a month or so, they are cemented in place and won't move. Luckily the path looks great. BV. |
