- As the first application biodegrades & releases the active
humic acids, the second application becomes ready to treat the pond
& keep the natural biological cycle functional. A Fall treatment
will save you problems in the spring.
- Be patient- natural processes take time. Initially the water may become cloudy or "tea colored" but will clear shortly.
- Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets + is the most convenient
form of barley available today. The barley pellets should be
introduced where water is flowing & the depth is less than three
feet. You may also place some barley pellets in your filter media box.
