Microbe-Lift Concentrated Barley Straw Extract skips that waiting period. The liquid concentrate delivers the same humic acids, fulvic acids, and organic compounds from barley decomposition in a ready-to-dose format that goes to work on the first application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow Barley Extract Works\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs barley straw breaks down naturally, it releases compounds that sequester inorganic elements in pond water and support the biological maturation that leads to clear, balanced water. The concentrated extract replicates this chemistry without bales sitting in your pond through the season. At 8 oz (250 mL), the bottle treats multiple applications in a single pond and is sized for hobbyist ponds through the full growing season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eField\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eForm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLiquid concentrate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eActive Compounds\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHumic acids, fulvic acids from barley decomposition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdvantage vs. Bales\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNo 6 to 8 week wait for decomposition\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSafe For\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKoi, goldfish, aquatic plants, wildlife\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDose according to label rates based on pond volume. Apply directly to the pond near a pump intake or waterfall to circulate the extract throughout the water. Use at spring startup as water temperatures rise above 10°C (50°F) and continue monthly through the season. Pair with a beneficial bacteria program for best long-term clarity. Results improve with consistent application rather than one-time treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIdeal for ponds where green water or algae are seasonal problems, pond keepers looking for a natural clarity approach without bales, and water gardens where pond chemistry management is already a routine part of spring startup.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Microbe-Lift","offers":[{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":50332036727103,"sku":"ML-MLCBSEG4","price":88.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 oz","offer_id":52698811105599,"sku":"ML-MLCBSE250","price":19.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8260\/9215\/files\/microbe-lift_concentrated_barley_straw_extract-1gallon.jpg?v=1741554634","url":"https:\/\/pondsonline.ca\/products\/microbe-lift-8-oz-microbe-lift-concentrated-barley-straw-extract","provider":"Ponds Online","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
