Directions
Determine the volume of water to be treated, shake container to mix (some sediment in the liquid is normal), measure the required amount of product and pour directly into the water body to be treated.
The application should be repeated on a weekly basis until the Barley Straw Bale begins to take effect (ie: repeat weekly for 8 weeks).
The Barley Straw Bale should also be placed in the pond or dam in conjunction with the Barley Straw Extract.
The effect of the Barley Straw Bale will begin, depending on water temperature, in around 4 to 8 weeks and should be replaced every 4 to 6 months.
