Microbe Lift Barley Straw Pellets are an environmentally responsible, cost-efficient pond conditioner that is a natural and organic way to a healthy pond environment! Works in much the same way as barley straw…only faster! Whereas barley straw works by releasing certain natural chemicals as it biodegrades, so do the pellets, only the breakdown compounds are released faster - dispersing equally throughout the water, reacting photochemically with sunlight, and activating humic acids to produce hydrogen peroxide-an oxidizing agent that also helps to keep the water clear-naturally. All barley products are best used in ponds for their value as preventative.
Please note: Microbe-Lift Barley Straw Pellets will leave a residual on the bottom of the pond. The bacteria in the Microbe-Lift products as well as Microbe-Lift Sludge Away will digest this organic residual. Fish will not eat the barley pellets as they contain no food value.
