Comments about Barley Ball:
This is one of several items we recently purchased from GS. We put it into our small, natural pond and two weeks later much of the algae has disappeared. We are trying to prepare for introduction of friends' goldfish into our pond. I wish I had tied a length of rope onto each of them (2) in order to move them to locations I want for them instead of where the breezes send them.

I have used the Barley Ball in my 500 gallon pond for years. I really helps control the algae and keeps the pond clean. I'm on a tight budget and decided not to order it one summer. What a mistake that was! I vowed to purchase it every year regardless of of how tight my purse was.
