Barley Straw Pond Pads and Pond Strips
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Pond Pads and Pond Strip have been developed to provide a natural, chemical free solution to clarity in ponds.
In the Middle Ages sheaves of corn were ceremonially thrown into village ponds and wells to ensure the purity of the water. More recently farmers have found, often by accident, that a bale of straw in the farm pond keeps it clear. Research over fifteen years at the Centre for Aquatic Plant Management, an outstation of The Institute of Arable Crop Research at Long Ashton, has proved the effectiveness of barley straw in keeping pond water clear. |

20209-2. Pond Pad Floater - Single Pack
The Pond Pad Floater has been developed to keep Pond Pads suspended near to the top of the pond to maximize performance.
In Deep Ponds:
When Pond Pads are used in deep ponds it is possible for them to sink into the depths where they may be less effective in controlling algae. The Pond Pad Floater will hold a Pond Pad just below the surface, where it will work most effectively.
