WE RECYCLE!

If you have any one or two gallon black nursery planters from plant purchases last year feel free to drop them by. You can leave them by the nursery fence.

I will be creating a drop station this year.

This is a great way to help us keep prices low, and also to reduce what is going into our landfills.

GreenClean by BioSafe Systems



GreenClean By BioSafe Systems, LLC is a Granular algaecide that works on contact to eliminate and control String Algae Cladophora in water gardens, ornamental ponds, fountains, waterfalls and rocks.

It immediately begins fighting algae blooms, releasing vital oxygen into the water body as it biodegrades. GreenClean is EPA registered and OMRI list. it begins working on contact and is approved for use in water containing live fish and plants.

How to use: You will see quicker results on a warm day. Turn your pump off (so the water flow doesn't push the product off the algae) and sprinkle the granular algaecide across the water, it will quickly sink, landing on the string algae. On a warm day the algae will float to the top as it dies. Be prepared to net the algae from the water as the decomposing algae will deplete oxygen from the water as will the heat. After about 45 minutes to an hour restart your pump and continue to monitor the algae rising to the pond surface. If you have an heavy bloom you may have to reapply the product because it can only kill the algae it touchs.
