How does it work?

Barley straw works by fostering large cultures of colorless, odorless, harmless, bacteria that help

keep your pond clean and clear. No toxins here. Barley straw is safe for fish, plants, snails, frogs,

kids, dogs, livestock, songbirds, pesky herons, etc. Barley straw also boosts overall biofilter capacity

by increasing surface areas for native beneficial bacteria. The bacterial growth on the barley straw naturally retards the growth of many green algae including string algae (hair algae), also called pond moss, and when floating on the surface, pond scum.

Instructions for Use

•Calculate approximate water content of pond.

•Formula: Length x width x Depth (in feet), multiply total by 7.48 to give volume in gallons

•Determine the number of bales required to treat pond

•Place bales on the surface of the pond, preferable near waterfall or filter outlet. Each bale package

has a cork float included. Do not allow bales to sink to bottom of pond.

•Allow one month for the bales to become effective

•After five months, place new bale next to the old one and then remove the oldest one at six months.

When is the best time to put barley straw in my pond?

Barley straw may be placed in the pond at any time during the year. Once applied, barley straw should be maintained in the pond throughout the entire year. Maintaining straw in the pond through the winter months will minimize the perennial early spring algae bloom.

How do I know when to replace my barley straw?

Your straw should be replaced after every 6 warm months, or when the volume of straw has decreased by 75%. 

Microbe Lift® SA is especially helpful for ponds that have a rock or gravel bottom and other places

where vacuuming is impractical. For best results,

use in conjunction with Microbe Lift® PL.

Microbe Lift® SA:

•Is formulated specifically for the removal of organic bottom solids that are slow to degrade

•Works faster at warm water temperatures, but may be used effectively at any temperature year-round

•Is recommended for use with all Microbe Lift® bacterial and enzyme products

•Provides rapid and natural sludge and muck removal

•Binds phosphate

•Helps improve pond clarity

•100% active ingredients

•Disperses quickly

•Organic and microbial based

•Biodegradable

Microbe Lift® SA speeds the biological removal of slow to degrade organic waste matter from aquatic pond bottoms that may become toxic to fish and plant life. As organic solids accumulate on the pond bottom, they begin to break down releasing toxic gasses to the surrounding environment. These gaseous byproducts endanger fish, marine life, and plants. Microbe Lift® SA removes bottom organic sludge and muck, reducing or eliminating the potential harmful gaseous compounds, and helps clarify your pond water at the same time.
