Ask your QuestionHey. I’ve a garden pond but there’s a few issues. It has stringy algae in it and the water is almost soupy? Despite cleaning the pond regularly, the issues remain. Do you know what might be causing this and how I could fix it? Is it easy/safe to fix DIY or should I hire a professional?
Asked by Carherine on 16th May 2022"Hi,
A black dye can be added to the water that is safe to wildlife. This provides a screen so that the algae/algal blooms cannot survive as they need sunlight. It is not as drastic as it sounds and is far better to look at than the green sludgy water.
Another alternative is a barley straw, wrapped in a tight bundle, but not as effective as the die, which is available on Amazon."
