Natural Solutions For Pond Algae Control

Ponds may be large or small, deep or shallow, but almost all ponds need some type of pond algae control in order to keep them fresh and clear.

Some algae is needed in a pond. It will attract all types of pond life, including frogs and salamanders. And some fish like to feed off of it, as well. It is only when it gets out of hand and makes the fishing and swimming a problem that it is time to tackle it. If the fish in your pond are for eating, you will want to use a natural solution to rid the excess algae from your pond.

You can take precautions while setting up your pond to control the algae by controlling the sediment that comes in, making the shore grade acceptable, seeing that the inflow volume is adequate and clean, and seeing that there is a sturdy embankment. There are other things you can do, as well, but even with all the precautions, there will likely be a vegetation imbalance along the way, and you will need to control that algae.

Geese love the vegetation in your pond, so they are somewhat of a solution. But they also leave excrement, so that would be adding to another problem. You might try local crawfish. They love algae, as well as leeches, which is a good thing. You need to be careful that they are local, however, as crawfish that are not native to your area may eat up all vegetation you have in your pond.

There is a product I recommend that is all natural, contains no chemicals, and is safe for ponds and fresh water and salt water fish tanks alike. Bioverse's all-natural pond cleaners do not use harmful chemicals and get the job done. While their products control your algae problem, they also improves the quality of the water, as well as the clarity. They are inexpensive, simple to use, and can last for thirty days or more.

With Bioverse you can begin a regular maintenance program that is easy, natural, and good for the environment for your pond algae control.
