Abstract/Contents: | Describes how oxygen bubblers and barley straw are used to control algae in a pond at Carmel Country Club, Charlotte, NC. Discusses the type of pump used, the recommended dosage of barley straw, and how to pack the barley straw into long cylindrical tubes to allow better oxygen circulation and decomposition. States that "the ponds at Carmel Country Club are now features that enhance the golf course. Best of all, the use of oxygen circulation and barley straw continues to work around the clock to keep the ponds in great condition. This innovative solution keeps staff involvement to a minimum, is cost effective, and is friendly to the environment." |
