Green Water Problem Ponds And Water Featured.

Green water – July and August are the time of year when ponds and fountains can be effected by green water were the water turns into something along the lines of a pea soap.This is due to increased light levels at this time of year because of longer days.This combined with a higher water terature enables the algae to grow at a quicker rate and in a pond or water feature that contains a high level of nutrients the effect is green water.
The solution is to increase the amount of planting in your pond or water feature and to also add some barely straw placed inside some old stockings or use a barley extract treatment available from most garden centres.This has the effect of removing excess nutrients from the water limiting the algae’s growth.
