Pond Barley Straw

Barley straw has been used for centuries in Europe to maintain fish and garden pond water quality. In recent years, the use of barley straw, barley liquid, and barley pellets have become more common as an alternative method for controlling excessive algae growth. Barley straw does not kill existing algae, but when exposed to sunlight and in the presence of oxygen, produces chemicals that inhibit algae growth. We offer several environmentally safe barley options to clean and clarify your pond, fountain, or water garden.
