Green Vista JUMBO Natural Barley Pond Straw employs the all-natural qualities of barley straw to deter algae in water and on surfaces. It works in a variety of waterscapes, including small farm ponds, golf course water features, detention ponds, and retention ponds.
Barley straw is safe for aquatic plants, Koi, and other fish that live in backyard ponds, and it's a popular choice for controlling algae in ponds. It is also safe to use with both pets and livestock which means barley straw bales are not only great to use in water gardens but also in large mud-bottom farm or fishing ponds.
JUMBO 16-20 oz bales are a great value, especially when used in large backyard pond or farm ponds!

Barley straw

Great for keeping the pond clear!
Nice size bales. I use them to treat my 5000gal pond. Each bale, during hot Florida summer months, lasts around 3-4 months. VERY effective! I've been using barely straw for several decades. There simply IS NO OTHER SUBSTITUTE!!!
