Product Reviews
After reading about the European Law to ban Barley Straw I was more than pleased to be able to purchase this product from Harrods. The member of staff I spoke to was very helpful in informing of the situation.
It is an old country thing to throw a sheave of barley in your pond to keep it sweet but it is nigh impossible to find a field of barley in UK. I saw this ball and I am pleased with it but I have tried other things at the same time and oxygenated the water with a solar pump so am not sure which has worked - probably all have helped. The newts and other wild life are fine and I shall do the same next year
