EasyPro Barley Straw Bale - 1lb. (MPN EBS1)

Barley Straw Bales are an excellent option for enhancing water quality. As a natural process, the organisms in the barley break down the lignins, which leads to the release of humic substances into the water. These substances undergo a transformation when exposed to sunlight and oxygen, resulting in the creation of hydrogen peroxide at low levels. This process helps modify the chemistry of your pond, ultimately leading to an improvement in water quality. When using Barley Straw Bales, it is important to note that each 1 lb. bale can effectively treat an area of approximately 100 square feet on the pond's surface. Additionally, these bales have a lifespan of approximately three to four months. To ensure continuous enhancement in water quality, it is advisable to apply a second bale four weeks after the initial treatment. By following this recommendation, any potential interruption in water quality can be avoided, allowing for continuous improvement and maintenance of your pond's health.
