Algae Prevention
Slight error in my previous message. I do not put the algae in the hamster
balls. I put barley straw in the hamster balls. Good Grief!! What will I say or write next? "Broomhilda" wrote in message link.net... I have found that barley straw does a fantastic job of keeping algae out. I bought a whole bale for $3.00 and a couple of those balls that hamsters like to run in. I put the algae in the balls and put the balls in the pond. It takes a month or 6 weeks to work but one ball of barley straw keeps the pond algae free for up to 3 months. And buying it by the bale is a lot cheaper that when it is purchased from a pond supply store or through the mail. They must be getting rich off of barley straw judging from the prices they charge. Haven't seen this mentioned lately so thought I'd toss it in. |
