A Penny For Your Thoughts


I was reading in a magazine last night that you can keep algae from growing in your birdbath if you put a few pre-1982 pennies in it. It said that the high copper content "retards growth."
What say ye?

Worth a try. Let me know if it works. A little bleach works also...lol.

I did find some articles that talk about copper killing algae! Copper is used in swimming pools and ponds to keep them algae free! wow!
