NT Labs Pond Barley Straw Pouch – Natural Aid for Green Water Control

NT Labs Pond Barley Straw Pouches offer a simple and natural way to help manage green water and blanketweed in garden ponds. By gradually releasing compounds as the straw breaks down, this method helps inhibit algae growth over time. The pouches are designed for continuous use and should be left in the pond all year round for best results.

Each pouch treats a specific volume of water and is easy to place directly into your pond, making this a convenient option for ongoing algae control. While not an instant fix, barley straw is a helpful addition to your pond maintenance routine when combined with good pond-keeping practices.

Key Features:

• Helps reduce green water and blanketweed in ponds
• Releases natural compounds that slow algae growth
• Recommended for year-round use
• Easy to use – place directly into pond

Available in two sizes:

• Single Pouch – treats up to 800 gallons
• Twin Pouch – treats up to 1,600 gallons
• Best results when used with good pond hygiene and shade
• Not a chemical treatment – safe for ponds without fish or livestock concerns

Usage Tips:

• Remove any carbon, zeolite or other adsorbent media
• Switch off UV clarifiers temporarily
• Increase aeration while in use
• Do not mix with other pond treatments
• Leave at least 10 days between treatments if needed
• Observe fish during use
• Barley straw works gradually; sunlight and organic waste can affect results

NT Labs Barley Straw Pouches offer a low-maintenance, additive-free way to help combat algae in ornamental ponds, particularly when paired with aquatic plants, regular cleaning, and sensible fish stocking levels.
