I'm growing barley seed in my yard to choke out all the weeds before I plant grass. I'm just wondering if I need to cover the seed, or whether it can just lay on top of the dirt? Asked by graceisenough - Mon May 18 22:10:42 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Hey graceisenough, No, it does not need to be covered, but it does need to be kept moist. Covering with a light scrape of dirt (like a rake), will help prevent birds from finding the seed before it has a chance to germinate, and it allows better moisture contact with the seed. Your percent of germination of the seed you put down will go up if it is slightly covered.

Q. My pond is green and i am planning on getting barley straw, tieing small chunks of bushels of them in a net and anchoring them to rocks at the bottom of my pond (not at the surface). Wil this help prevent algae from forming or must hte barley straw be near the surface where the algae is forming? Asked by Lacey C - Wed Jun 28 23:34:57 2006 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. Straw may be used unbundled or packed loosely in mesh so that water flows freely through the packet. It should be placed where moving water will oxygenate it and carry its byproducts to the rest of the pond. It's best to anchor it by weight and line, and then to add some sort of float to keep it from sinking to less-oxygenated water as it becomes waterlogged. WE have also heard of success when the barley straw was placed inside a filtration system.
