Does anyone know where to get barley straw from? The pond usually has too much duck weed, but this year the algae is having a really big bloom

The pond guy that runs the YouTube channel Bama Bass was talking about an algae that thrives on water temps between 60-70 degrees. When temps increase it'll go away on its own. So low time preference in just letting mine run its course. This spring we've seen the most growth we've had at this point ever. 🤷

Great channel; he covers everything about pond maintenance.

I get my barley straw from my barley straw guy. Obviously

Tractor supply, AgCentral, Rural King. Stores like that.

I have never seen barley straw at tractor supply or rural king, are you sure?

Not every location carries it. Look by the pond dies, filters and pumps.

Those are for stock tanks, not ponds. Need 2-4 bales
