Yah Whey by Thrive Probiotics Revolutionary liquid probiotic crafted from the Whey of Kefir Researching Kefir quickly leads one to find a myriad of legends pertaining to this ancient, thousands of year old, practice of fermenting milk to produce a stable probiotic. This probiotic is legendary for its health properties.  Ingredients: Purified Water, Organic Molasses, Yeast Cultures, Lactic Acid Bacteria, Humic Acid Whey from kefir grains have a complex microbial biology composition with polysaccharides, nutrients, minerals and proteins. These fermented compounds create a diverse probiotic whey for your plants and soil.  Soon you'll be shouting, YAH WHEY!!!!! As your plants pray to the light. Check out the photo of the active fermentation. That is without any magnification! The image is taken with a normal cell phone camera. So what does that have to do with growing plants?  Organic matter in the garden is broken down by probiotics, but an often forgotten component is the Nitrogen that the breakdown requires to speed up the process. Composting is all about Carbon to Nitrogen ratios.  Organic Potting soils can have high carbon and when amending with rice hulls and organic amendments the soil can have an elevated C:N ratio which means the soil will be taking Nitrogen for a while before it starts to release it again.  Now that you understand the problem, you can clearly see the solution. YAH WHEY! When you use stabilized Kefir Whey designed by Thrive you will be simultaneously feeding the soil much needed amino proteins (Nitrogen) That will help the breakdown of nutrients and also make readily available food for your plants.   Once you see the level of calcium, nutrients and vitamins  that are contained within kefir and combine that with the knowledge of the diversity of lactobacillus cultures present you can really start to understand that this is more than your average product.  This Yah Whey was made to help your soil and your plants THRIVE!

Facultative or surviving in both aerobic and anaerobic environments. Microaerophilic, which is biology speak for preferring environments with less oxygen than typical environmental air - like in soil. Rod shaped bacillus means “wand” or “small staff”- the “magic wand” because fermentation has an alchemical nature of transmuting raw materials into more nutritious valuable preparations. Heterofermentative translates to producing a variety of outputs including nutrients, CO2, yeasts, acids, and carbohydrates, which plants crave.  Antipathogenic in biology can mean that effective and beneficial microbes outcompete and overcome “the bad guys,” or pathogenic microbes, often present in decomposition.  “Fermentation with lactobacillus offers a natural means to modify nutritional and flavor properties of foods, and strains have crucial effects on it.”https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2212429222003546 Ingredients: Water, Lactic Acid Bacteria sourced from local goat whey, Thermex 70, Sorghum Syrup, Plant Matter (Peach), EM1 How to Use Soil Drench: 1 - 4 oz to 1 gal of water Foliar Spray:   1 - 4 oz to 1 gal of water Field Application:    10 - 30 gal per acre Compost Booster:   4 - 8 oz to 1 gal of water Shipping Info 1/2 Gallon Dimensions: 5.25" x 3.75" x 9" Weight: 4.45 lbs 1 Gallon Dimensions: 10" x 7" x 4.5" Weight: 8.85 lbs
