Barley Bales & Planters
Barley straw pond treatments naturally keep pond water clear without synthetic chemicals. As the barley straw bales slowly decay, the barley releases enzymes that aid in maintaining water clarity. This is accomplished by a natural reaction between the humic acids in decomposition process, sunlight and oxygen. Bales and planters are effective for up to 6 months.
Summit's Clear-Water barley straw pond treatment naturally keeps pond water clear without synthetic chemicals. As the barley straw bales slowly decay, the barley releases enzymes that aid in maintaining water clarity. Place bale on the surface of the pond. Do not allow bales to sink to the bottom of the pond. If bale sinks, remove from pond for 24 hours to dry then put it back. Allow one month for the bale to become effective. Replace each bale after 6 months of use. For continuous treatment, after 5 months, place a new bale next to the old one. Then remove the oldest one at the 6 month mark.
