All the benefits of barley straw without the mess! The Pond Guy Barley straw extract for ponds is the natural solution to maintaining clean and clear pond water all year long. Barley Extract works faster than barley pellets and is cleaner than barley straw bales. The powerful liquid concentrate instantly goes to work so you can enjoy the benefits of natural barley straw treatments without the wait. Barley Extract liquid conditioner naturally balances pond water and improves clarity year-round. First reported in scientific journals in the early 1990s, it was discovered that during the decomposition process, barley straw releases small, but steady, quantities of extract which improve water clarity. Barley is a scientifically proven, all-natural solution to water clarity. In recent years, the use of all-natural barley straw to treat water clarity has become more and more popular. Science aside, what’s important to pond keepers is how to use it in their decorative ponds, water gardens, or pondless water features. Currently, pond hobbyists can choose from three different types of barley products: barley straw in ball form, barley pellets, and barley extract. With Barley Extract, there is no waiting for the barley straw balls to decompose or for the powder in barley pellets to start to work. Use 1 ounce per 500 gallons. Pour directly into fishpond water. If pond water is turbid, double the dose and use weekly until the water is clear. Thereafter, use once every 3 weeks for maintenance. Barley Extract is a powerful liquid concentrate that instantly goes to work on contact. It can be used year-round to keep your pond clean. Barley straw is no magic bullet to rid your decorative pond of unsightly discoloration. But when used as a preventive measure, barley straw offers pond owners an attractive option to chemical products to manage water quality issues.
