I heard about pond straw a few years back, but wrote it off as simply one more natural option that probably didn’t work. I kept it in the back of my mind and when my koi fish began getting ill and passed away, one right after the other, I invested the money and paid for a local pond specialist to come out and take a look at my pond.
He warned me about using chemicals to cleanse the water in my backyard pond due to the fact that this upsets the pond ecology and informed me about pond straw. I remembered what I had heard years earlier and this time, I was open to the idea of keeping the water clean with a natural option.
Long story short: I’ve been using straw for ponds for 6 years now. In addition to keeping the pond water clear, it aerates the water (which assists the fish) and cleans the water, eliminating string algae.
Believe it or not, I was the last individual to think about using a natural option. In fact, my creed was: kill it with chemicals, however now I realize that chemicals slowly kill everything. When you know the science behind why pond straw actually works, you’ll value the intelligence of the system and the unbelievable power of harnessing Mother Nature.
A tip: search for pond straw that is organic. If not, you risk using barley that was grown with pesticides. Putting something like this in your pond is no different than using chemicals. So go with certified organic barley straw bales and not only will your pond clear up, your fish and water plants will grow. Just like using anything new, make sure to follow the directions.

- As water flows through the pond straw and reacts with sunlight, enzymes are produced. This cleans, clears and aerates your pond protecting fish and pond life.
