If you make #kefir you already have a system set up for creating lactic acid bacteria (labs) 🦠 and yeasts to innoculate your plants with.

These bacteria are great for lush green leafy growth and I haven't lost any seedlings to 'damping off' since doing this. Damping off is just a fungal or bacteria attack and the 'good guys' in kefir protect your seedlings from dying.

It's probably best to strain the clear labs off when the kefir separates from the curd. However if you are lazy like me just add a little of the mixed stuff when you water.

Great timing, I was about to start making my first batch of Kefir tomorrow. Thanks for the extra info.

When you get your grains reproducing put some aside. You can make another useful (and expensive to buy) bacteria if you add some spirulina to it. You won't want to do it with your main batch though unless you want to drink blue kefir forever. I will post a note about it a bit later.

LAB is the fastest growing microbe in the milky whey! Cultivating LAB is so simple, every gardener should add it to their systems.
