Founded in 1992 to make straw based matting to control algae in water, following the world leading research at the Centre for Aquatic Plant Management now based at the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in Wallingford and part of the Natural Environment Research Council. Pond Pads for natural algae control use barley and lavender straw to control all types of algae, including blanket weed, green water algae and blue green algae. For more info, click the GO button.

Algae information

Algae are much like any garden weeds and flourish in warm bright conditions. They are fed by nutrients provided by over rich soil used in the planting of aquatic plants and by nitrates in tap water.

The Pond Pads range

Effective, safe and fully biodegradable, Pond Pads and Pond Strip bring barley straw treatment for algae to garden ponds of all sizes and may be used with complete confidence.
