Can you PREVENT String Algae?... News about Pond Liner...Fun (Pond) Fact

 

Preventing String Algae...the natural way....
It is not as difficult as it seems. String Algae LOVES high pH, so the first thing to do is test the pH and bring it into normal (for a pond) range of 7.0 - 8.0.
That small action alone will take some steam out of the growth of that awful stuff.
After that, the easy way is to throw a Barley Bale in the Pond! It takes about 3 - 4 weeks to start working and half of it MUST always be above water (most Barley Bales made for Ponds have cork or some other means to keep the floating). Since it takes a while for the Barley Bales to start working, the new ones need to be added about a month or a little longer before the old one is deteriorated. Algae is a Plant, plants must have nutrients to grow...use Beneficial Bacteria to take the nutrients out of pond water and keep growth to a minimum.

Want to do it the super easy way? Try "Barley Fusion", the liquid and fast acting version of Barley Bales with Beneficial Bacteria built right in.

Important News about Pond Liner:
We have been notified that due to the price of Oil the price for Pond Liner
will be raised substantially by the manufacturer!
We still have a good supply on hand at this moment, but....
once it is gone and we re-order, even our price to you must go up.
Get it at current low prices while you can!

Cleaning Up existing Growth...the easy way....
The above method will NOT get rid off stuff that is already there! But there is now, an easy solution: "Pond Restor". Unlike other cleaners, this one was developed by the PondMarket to keep our own display Ponds looking good and no other Waterfall, Rock and Pond Cleaner has more active ingredients!
It keeps things looking great without scrubbing (who has the time for that?)!!
With these strategies you can ENJOY your Pond - it will look great!
