What kind of, or size of barley ball works best?. This is the most often asked question I recieve in my messages.

In all our listings the gallonage of ponds that size barley ball works in is stated in the listing. As far as kind of Barley, it really doesnt make a difference at all if it is Organic or not. In fact, Organic barley can have problems with weeds in it. Think about it for a moment. "Organic", no sprays during the growing season for weeds. Now think about this, a farmer has 300 acres of Barley planted, is he going to hire someone to pull weeds in those 300 acres , when he sells barley at about 25$ a acre for the straw.? No

Preseeded Organic Barley, what is it?, they claim it works better and sooner than regular barley. Does it?

Well think about that also, first you have "organic". what is that ? A pure material with nothing added during the growing season, and nothing added during processing. Then you have a secret "Preseeded" a additive of some sort added to the "organic" . You can figure that one out.

The scientific evidence of how barley works, is provided in one of my other guides.  That guide provides scientific facts about the process of  Barley use in ponds. It does not provide "witch doctor" claims of one product being better than another to help boost sales.

Here is another Fact.

The Rat ball , Pet ball , Hamster ball that is used by some for the distribution of barley in ponds, was NEVER designed or built with barley distribution in mind. It was made for a Rodent to run around in.

Use of straw for filtering water along side roadways, construction zones and logging areas has been used for years.

You may have seen them along side roads , the straw packed into long net tubes and then placed across ditches?

These net tubes have the ability to FILTER out water sediments and the runoff waters flow thru them basically unrestricted. Now if the water did not do that , and there was not free flow because it was compacted, would that product  be used for that?

Some sellers claim Barley  balls that are put into netting  cause compaction issues and stops water flow.

 Scare tatic! thats all it is .

 They are simply trying to get you to buy thier poorly conceived plastic Rat ball , that was not designed for barley distribution. The Rat ball has only about a 25% water flow thru capability.  A net ball has 98%!

They even try to say than that the net balls trap small fry fish. A 3/32 net does not have a problem with that.  A lot of research was put into this before we selected a custom made net size for our product. Our net products are even patented .

The netting we use is sent to koi pnds owners and even a koi distributor  that raises Koi, and they have reported 0 problems.

Then some sellers reach for the last straw they can and tout customer service for thier product , like there needs to be?.

You place the ball in the pond , it does the work, what possible "secret" customer service information could they have?

There is none, just another attempt to use scare tactics to sell a product.

Anyone that sells a product ,will answer questions after the sale, if need be.

All these issues that are brought up are simply put, scare tactics of a salesperson looking for ways to increase thier bank accounts and decrease yours.

You as a customer need to decide who you will deal with, a seller that deals with facts, or one that does not ?.

That is your choice.

Happy Ponding!
