Big problems with big pond

[DuckyGaze]

I am wayyyyyyy up north in Quebec. In the winter my pond will be frozen right through. LOL

There is water movement with my ducks and geese only just like you but guess what? I vacuumed all that green slodge and icky stuff and
there is no green in my pond at all yet. Wow I am truly amazed. Was sure it would all be back already but nothing at all. That is so cool!

Barley straw is a great idea and I will order that for sure. I did see it was available in pellets but I am scared the ducks and geese will eat them
so I will go with a bale.

Thank you for info!

Good luck. Because there is so little movement, I picked an extra big bale. We put it in when the water was totally green in early April. I just noticed today that the pond is a tiny bit green. But the bale is sunk to the bottom and it is the decomposition of it that stops algae growth. Gonna bring it up and move it around a little.
