If you are using barley straw to combat the algae, I would just make sure you have the barley contained in some sort of mesh bag, this way it does create a mess throughout your water garden. From there simply place into the water and you are good to go!

Do I just float the barley straw in the water? I am not familiar with it and have never used it.
