Barley Straw Bale for Algae Growth Prevention - 2 x 100g
Aquatic Barley Straw Bale - For the prevention of new algae growth in farm dams and large ponds.
The All-Natural Way to Prevent New Algae Growth
The use of barley straw bales for the control of algae in water has been well documented in Europe and can be traced back to the pre-industrial era, when farming and agriculture prevailed.
When barley straw bales are placed in water, they begin to decompose. This process of decomposition releases phenolic compounds, these compounds have a natural signature similar to that of hydrogen peroxide. It is these natural compounds that are believed to be the factor which give barley straw its natural ability to limit new growth of algae.
