Anyone know where you can get Barley Straw? Want to see if it'll help clean up a pond. Unfortunately i don't know any farmers.

Thanks

where are you based? you should be able to get it in pond hobby in north county dublin, but any good garden centre which sells pond accessories should have it in stock.
