Using a unique two-stage process exclusive to us, this natural, microbial treatment starves algae of nutrients and digests the resulting dead organic matter, leaving your pond crystal clear. Step 1. Kick Start Oxygenator - natural bicarbonates and related substances release oxygen, starving algae and weed. You'll see results in just 3-4 days. Step 2. Pure Aqua - introduces a natural biome of bacteria to maintain pond clarity. These degrade muck and slime that has accumulated in the bottom of pond, clarifying water and establishing long term populations. Note that to work, the microbes needs the water to be 10°C or more to work - So use April to October. Pond Clear Pro 2 Step consists of two parts, Kick Start and Pure Aqua which contains specially prepared materials encapsulated with selected strains of bacterial cultures. These attract dispersed particles in your pond and form a core on which the organisms grow, assisting in the generation of sludge which settles out to leave clear water. Odours such as ammonia and sulphur are very rapidly taken up by Pond Start, while heavy metals and other toxic substances are reduced so greatly improving water quality. Some benefits of Pond Clear Pro can be observed immediately after dosing commences, although major improvements in water clarity frequently take a few weeks to become apparent. By using Kick Start as a pre-treatment, you'll see results much more quickly. How to use Kick Start and Pure Aqua PRIOR TO APPLICATION - If your pond has excessive blanket weed, first remove as much as possible and dispose of it on the compost heap. This will prevent the build-up of dead organic material, and therefore improve microbial digestion and reduce oxygen consumption. See how to calculate the volume of your pond here: www.yougarden.com/pondclear.htm Step 1, Day 1 - Add Kick-Start Oxygenator, the Fast-Acting Pre-treatment Sprinkle contents of the Kick Start sachet into the Pond. One sachet will treat a pond up to 20,000 litres. For ponds over 20,000 litres add an extra sachet for each additional 20,000 litres. Step 2, Day 3-4 - Add Pure Aqua with 'Zeolite Ultra' to both extend and enhance performance. Open your pack of Pure Aqua and simply drop the sachet(s) into the pond. The sachet(s) is biodegradable, so will dissolve releasing the microbes into the water and the Zeolite will drop to the bottom. Each soluble sachet is sufficient to treat a pond up to 10,000 litres Suitable for all pond types including fish ponds, wildlife ponds and natural swimming pools. May also be used in water butts and tanks to eliminate algae.
Natural green-garden waste and fallen leaves in particular are a rich source of nutrients for the garden and one of those lovely natural resources that no gardener should be without, so make sure that you make the most of this great supply of free compost! Come autumn, we get the ideal opportunity to stock up on all that gorgeous leaf litter...however all the leaves fall at once and shorter days mean that your time is limited so we end up with a delicate balancing act between keeping the garden neat and finding somewhere to store that excellent source of organic compost - often we simply end up sweeping them into a pile and then disposing of them. Fortunately, we have the ideal solution! These loose-weave jute sacks can neatly hold thousands of fallen leaves and keep them contained until they break down. Once you have picked up your compostable waste, put it into the handy leaf sacks. They are made from loose woven natural jute, and each one is completely biodegradable. Simply fill them up, add them to your compost heap or a corner of the garden and forget about them. As the sacks are biodegradable, over time, they will break down along with the green waste inside, leaving you with your own homemade compost. After one year, the leaves should have rotted down enough to use as a mulch around the garden, and after two years you should have a perfect soil conditioner. Measurements (approx): L70cm x W40cm
