Has anyone with a rec pond ever tried barley straw for algae control?
I have a 6 acre pond and I am ready to deploy but it'll cost me around
$800 to do it.

Want to see the pond?

Since this is in a natural wildlife setting, the algae is part of the whole
system. I would think the money be better spent elsewhere such as on
planting whatever wildflowers or shrubs would be native to your land.
