A Great Trick for the Pond Filter --- Dealing with Algae --- Fun (Pond) Fact

Image: Algae on Waterfalls, Rocks, Liner, etc

We all know Barley helps us keep that fuzzy, stringy, bubbly unsightly stuff from growing in our Pond. The trouble is those, almost equally unsightly, Barley Bales floating around in the Pond.
Here is a better way:
Put some Barley PELLETS in the Pond Filter!
They are small enough to be put into any kind of Pond Filter:
submersible, pressurized or waterfall Filters.
Works like a charm and also helps to gradually reduce frequency of Filter cleaning.
Do not wait for all the them to decompose, add a handful of new Barley Pellets every week or so to keep effective beneficial enzyme production at a constant level.

It used to be that all we had for dealing with existing (the above trick is for preventing new growth) String Algae.
We have the ultimate weapon now:
Oxygen based cleaners like "Algae Off"
Algae Off cleans String Algae off Waterfalls, Rocks, the Pond Liner and anything else it grows on (I even use it to clean those ugly black and dark green spots off my patio stones).

Fun (Pond) Fact (TM)

Koi can be trained to eat out of your Hand. Hold a treat (a piece of Orange, a Strawberry, or a Koi Treat) in your fist and submerse it in the water. Lure the Koi by letting a small piece escape every once in a while. Make a low silhoutte by crouching down and making sure your shadow is behind you.
