I've found the best 'cure' for green ponds is to add a UV light. That makes the algae clump up so your filter can catch it.
 
Shading the pond somehow, if it gets a lot of sun, can help too.

There are also products based on straw that slowly decompose and release a chemical into the pond that kills algae.
 
Or just straw of course, but I can't remember off hand which type.
 
Oh, and welcome to the forum.

Barley straw is for blanketweed, not green water, that'll be why it hasn't worked
