## Questions & Answers

**Q: Do you just put it in the pond?**
A: this is a barley straw pad that you just throw in the pond. I am finding mixed with barley straw extract these pads work very well

**Q: does the amount of straw depend on pond size**
A: I am not sure, however normally these bales of straw should be replaced around every 6-8 weeks.  Have used these items in the past and I have mixed feelings with the results. Also be prepared for the odd loose piece of straw floating around the pond. Good luck.

**Q: Is this safe for use in a still pond with newts?**
A: Cleared my pond earlier in the year, had high levels of algae and blanket weed, water quality was terrible. Now crystal clear, as or suitability for newts, perhaps this sidewall help, http://www.suffolkwildlifetrust.org/node/12531
