Aquatic
Barley Straw Bale - 2 x 100g: The Natural Solution for Algae Prevention in Farm Dams
and Large Ponds
Discover
the All-Natural Approach to Halting Algae Growth
Unlock the
time-tested wisdom of Europe's agricultural heritage with our Aquatic Barley
Straw Bale. This effective technique, rooted in pre-industrial farming, has
proven its worth in controlling algae in water bodies.
Once
immersed, these barley straw bales initiate a gentle decomposition process.
This natural breakdown releases phenolic compounds that mimic the properties of
hydrogen peroxide. It's these inherent compounds that provide barley straw its
remarkable ability to curtail new algae proliferation.
Each Aquatic
Barley Straw Bale arrives ready for use in its dedicated net bag, complete with
a buoyant feature to ensure proper positioning.
Crafted from
purely Australian-grown barley, our Aquatic Barley Straw Bales embody the
essence of an all-natural approach. Proudly manufactured within Australia by
local businesses, from cultivation to distribution, it's an embodiment of
national excellence.
Usage
Instructions
For optimal
results, apply Aquatic Barley Straw Bales proactively, ahead of visible algae
growth. As a potent algae suppressant, its effectiveness shines when employed
post pond refills, in water features, lakes, dams, and garden water
tanks year-round.
Barley straw
springs into action within two weeks and asserts its full potential within 4 to
6 weeks, provided the water temperature exceeds 20 degrees Celsius. For
temperatures below 10 degrees, expect activation within 6 to 8 weeks, with full
effectiveness after 8 to 10 weeks.
Application
Rates
A single 100g
Aquatic Barley Straw Bale effectively treats a 2m2 surface area.
Additional Insights
Should you
detect any odours emanating from the bales, it suggests an excessive
application rate. In such cases, replace the bales with a reduced amount. If
the net bag experiences blockage, restore its flow by shaking or rinsing in
pond water.
