Using Barley Straw To Control Algae

There are two ways to control the growth of algae in garden ponds, UV light and barley straw. Barley Straw is a natural way to control algae in your water garden. As you know algae booming will make green water. Barley straw releases a natural algae inhibitor as it bio-degrades. Barley Straw is used to curb the growth of string or filamentous algae which cannot be destroyed using UV lights. This also helps rid the pond of any kind of stench and makes water sparkle.There are many different forms of barley straw such as actual straw, bales, pellets and extract (liquid).

Koi Pond Water Temperature

Koi Fish and garden ponds are naturally heated up by the sun. Ponds with large volumes of water and/or deep water will take longer to heat up. Furthermore, water requires a lot of energy to heat it up so it will take many days of hot sun before a pond’s temperature warms up. Conversely, the pond will keep its temperature for several weeks after the first cold snap of autumn. Koi Fish , like all fish, cannot control their body temperature, so whatever the water temperature is will be the temperature of fish, too.
