Green Vista Barley Straw Bales - Pond Water Treatment - Safe for Koi, Fish and Plants

Green Vista Barley Straw harnesses the natural power of barley straw to prevent the growth of green water in various waterscapes, such as small koi ponds and water gardens. It is safe to use around koi, other fish, and plants as it helps maintain a balanced environment free of excess organic material.

To apply the barley straw, simply place it in a sunny location in shallow water, such as in a stream or near constant water movement. For optimal results, split the barley straw bale into smaller 4 to 8 ounce clumps and distribute them along the water's perimeter. Use approximately 4 ounces of barley straw per 1,000 gallons of water, and reapply every 4 to 6 months. Using a mesh bag to contain the barley straw before placing it in the water can be helpful.

Manufactured and baled in the United States, this listing includes two 1-1.25 pounds of barley straw. Grown and harvested in Ohio, the barley is baled to an approximate uniform size, with weight variations depending on moisture content during baling.
