String algae can a common problem in many ponds.  There can be numerous causes such as, too much sun exposure, improper biological filtration and an improper ecological balance.  Even when you have a healthy pond, string algae can sometimes creep up.  Barley straw is natural way of dealing with pond string algae.  While not guaranteed to fix your problem completely if you have other issues that are promoting string algae growth, barley straw is a relatively inexpensive remedy that can help the problem in most cases.  When placed in an area of the pond where there is a steady water flow, the barley pellets will slowly degrade. As the pellets degrade, they emit a substance that assists in fighting string algae.  To read more about string algae and it's associated causes/fixes, please see our page on Pond String Algae.

Application Directions: Simply remove the bag from the box and float it in an area where there is water movement, around a waterfall, spitter, stream or in an in-pond or out-of-pond filter. This will facilitate a gradual degradation of the barley and allow for more barley extract to be released into the pond system. After three months, replace the bag with a new one to begin the process again.
