Summit Barley Straw Planters

Summit Barley Straw Planters are effective in improving water quality through various means. The decomposition of straw within the water initiates a natural reaction between humic acids, sunlight, and oxygen. This reaction creates a condition that maintains clear water. Additionally, the presence of barley straw promotes the growth of invertebrate life, which plays a vital role in consuming harmful contaminants. These invertebrates are crucial to the pond's food chain. As a result of these processes, the pond environment becomes healthier, clearer, and more sustainable. Application rates for Summit Barley Straw Planters are determined by the size of the pond. Different planter sizes and their corresponding treatment capacities are listed in the table provided. The small barley planter can treat ponds up to 500 gallons, while the medium barley planter is suitable for ponds up to 1,500 gallons. For larger ponds, the large barley planter can treat volumes of up to 4,000 gallons. The dimensions and weight of each planter are also indicated in the table. Regardless of the planter size, they can all last up to 6 months, providing long-lasting benefits to the pond.
