I have a small garden pond that has algae in it. How can I keep it clean with the least amount of chemical usage and cost? I have a few goldfish, plants and a waterfall to keep the water moving.

do you have green water? add more plants so that at least 75% of the water surface is covered and figure out someway to block the sunlight
either with shrubs or small trees or even a gazebo type structure over the pond…we built a screened-in “room” around our large pond and the water stayed crystal clear, but sunlight is your enemy if you have a pond
