Hello Woofers,
Daisy back again!
Well, we have had a very lazy day today, I woke OTL up about half an hour early today and as a result when we got half way around the walk, we met up with Devo!
He was at the end of his walk while I was at the beginning of mine!
We had a chat and a sniff and then he had to go off because his Two Legs had to go to work!
Mind you, I also had to go to work and OTL was busy as well.
OTL had read that to get rid of green algae in the pond you had to spread some barley stalks and that will clear it all up.
Lucky for us the farmer had recently run his combine over the field and left piles of barley stalks in the field.
On our lunchtime walk OTL took a bag with us and collected a few handfuls of barley stalks to spread onto the pond surface.
After he had read the instructions is seems that you have to wait for the barley to sink to the bottom of the pond, rot away and produce some chemical reaction and make the algae go away.
We are not sure how long it will take for the barley to rot, maybe a year or two?
Now he has to scoop all the barley stalks out using a posh shrimp net he keeps to help get rid of the leaves!
Maybe he should have waited for the water shower pump thingy!
The water pump should have been delivered today but it seems they are suffering from some Bank Holiday troubles connected with the aeroplane problem!
Mind you, once you get the sprinkler, it has to be charged for a minimum of eight hours before connecting it up in the pond!
Just how long does barley take to rot?
Bye for now.
Luv,
Daisy.
