The latest edition of Pond Boss brings barley straw to my attention as a pretty good algae control option. I would like to know if its to late to apply a couple of bails or should I have hit it early spring and be putting down a second application now? I like the idea of being organic versus the chemical option.

Or should I treat the existing algae with Cutrine and place the straw now for the prevention of future growth?

I would like to try some and maybe grow some next year. Anybody currently have any or know where to score some?
Thanks,
JN

I don't really like the categories. Most people post on the Questions and observations anyway. I don't usually have a lot of time so I don't even go there thaT often. I wish you could make every post go to Q and O and then after a time would categorize itself. I can dream.

That's not where I posted.

That would surely be a nice feature, probably easier to research a particular issue also. Oh well, overall this is a great site.
