Green algae and Blanket Weed (a form of filamentous algae) occurs when there is an imbalance in the pond ecosystem. This may occur in early Spring as the temperature of your pond water starts to rise and before the other plants in the pond have re-established after the Winter. Or it may occur with a newly constructed pond before a natural balance has been established.
Barley Straw Pond Logs
provide a natural, chemical free solution for algae in ponds. They are made from natural, untreated barley straw in a net. Pond Logs release natural compounds which inhibit the growth of algae in the pond water. The process continues for about four to six months giving long term protection from all algae including green water & blanket weeds. They are harmless to plants, fish and animals & are made from natural fully biodegradable materials.
One pad will treat up to 700 gallons (3,000 litres) of water for 4 months, but in cases of heavy infestation we recommend that twice or even three times that dose should be used.
