Description
As barley straw breaks down, it produces a compound which inhibits the growth of algae. Barley straw pellets are a preventative measure so it is be best to apply them in April or May and a second application should be done in early-mid summer or as necessary based on individual observations.
40 pounds of pellets will treat approximately 1/3 of an acre.
