I talked to a buddy the other day that was looking for 6 or 7 bales of barley straw. His plans are to put it in how pond. From what he said he has been doing it for years. Something about the barley, after it gets wet and settles, it will begin 'eating' any algie in the pond. He said between the balrey straw, and an aeration pump, it wouldn't take long before the water turned crystal clear.
So, two questions. Has anyone else out there ever heard of this? No one I've talked to around here has ever heard of it, but my buddy swears by the process and says he has been doing it for years and it has always worked. Second, does anyone know where he can get some in the Charlotte, NC area? He's willing to travel a bit if he has to but he'd rather find it close to home. Unfortunately the guy he used to get it from is eiter out of stock or going out of business one day at a time and are currently empty as far as what is really needed on a PHONE .
