How Do You Kill Algae In A Freshwater Pond?
Pond algae, particularly in freshwater ponds, are a major problem and an inevitable obstacle that most pond owners will have to face. There are two distinct options for killing pond algae; one being chemicals and the other being a more organic solution. For safety’s sake, the organic solution is the way to go and is also far more effective and long lasting. Fill the mesh bag with a handful of barley straw. Close the bag and tie it shut tightly using the rubber band. Place the bag of barley either in the center of the pond or in an area of high water flow. Upon decomposition, the barley will release chemicals which kill algae.
