A garden needs some sort of water feature to make it perfect. In this article, I share how I am using Barley Straw Treatments in my small pond to help control algae.
Barley Straw Video
Below is the video I put together featuring my small Koi garden pond I have in my 20′ Geodesic Bio-Dome.
This video is featured on my YouTube Channel. If you are a YouTube subscriber I hope you will subscribe to my channel so you get updates when my new videos are available. Most of my videos are in 4K so they are perfect for large screen viewing.
The Barley Straw
I found this great article on Penn State about Barley Straw for Algae Control. The pond guy says that using barley dates back 100’s of years ago to acre farm ponds in Europe.
Interested in trying some in your pond? I found mine at Menards but you can also order them on Amazon.
In The Pond
Here are a few of my photos taken during this video update featuring the pond located in the 20′ geodesic biodome greenhouse garden.

Happy Gardening,
The dome is amazing. A playground I would love too. A great, gardening video. Not much on my blog yet. I am trying to do it.
You got this… I need to share more about blogging. It really can be a fun experience. I know over the past few months I’ve really enjoyed documenting and sharing my experiences with others.
