Yeast as a fertilizer for tomatoes

Yeast is quite a common product for our diet. We regularly eat it in baked goods, bread, kvass, and many other foods. In fact, yeasts are fungi rich in protein, iron, macro- and microelements and amino acids.

Recently, yeast is increasingly used as a fertilizer for tomatoes. What is the secret of mushrooms, traditionally used for baking, and how to use fertilizers with yeast - we will try to find answers to these and many other questions in this article.

The use of yeast in the garden

More recently, plant yeast yeast was used only for feeding potatoes and tomatoes. But over time, it turned out that the use of yeast as fertilizer is effective for all types of garden crops.If you are interested in questions about how to feed tomatoes with yeast and how to fertilize tomatoes with yeast, then carefully read this article.

Feeding plants with yeast is effective at all stages of development, but the seedlings especially need it, because during this period it is most important to plant as many useful substances as possible in the sprouts, which will contribute to a more qualitative and intensive development of their land part and roots.

The use of fertilizers for tomatoes with yeast contributes to their more generous fruiting. Feeding seedlings of tomatoes with yeast can not only save money on the purchase of expensive chemical fertilizers, but also significantly shorten its growing season, accelerate flowering and fruit ripening, which will allow to get the harvest much earlier. In addition, the feeding of tomatoes with yeast affects the sweetness of tomatoes, which makes it possible for tomatoes to grow in plants with higher taste and aromatic characteristics.

Yeast as a fertilizer: the timing of feeding

When introduced into the soil, yeast-containing fungi improve its structure, activate the activity of soil bacteria, create a more favorable environment for their life, and contribute to better processing of organic matter and more intensive release of nitrogen and potassium.

The advantages of feeding tomatoes in greenhouse and on open ground yeast:

• increase seedling endurance;
• excellent sprout development, even in low light conditions;
• reduction of their vegetative phase;
• enhanced root formation;
• more generous flowering and abundant fruiting;
• shortening the time of harvest.

The nutrients introduced into the ground are enough for sprouts for a maximum of two months. Tomatoes are poured over with yeast once every 30 days, and no more than three supplements are carried out per season. If you reduce the concentration of the top-dressing solution, you can enter it a little more often. After the first injection, a positive result can be seen on the third day, and it is still not recommended to abuse fertilizers.

How to cook fertilizer for tomatoes

Yeast top dressing is a fairly effective fertilizer for tomatoes, but in order to achieve maximum results, you need to know the exact recipe for its preparation.

It will take you no more than 15 minutes to prepare the fertilizer. Yeast for feed can be taken both alcoholic and dry. In addition, for the preparation of fertilizer, you can use bread or crackers, also suitable loaves or yeast pies.

To prepare the solution, you will need to take 10 liters of warm water, 10 grams of dry yeast, 0.5 liters of ash and 75 grams of sugar. We mix everything up and let it stand for 10-15 minutes. But in this form the solution can not be used. It is necessary to take 1 liter of concentrated yeast feed and dilute it again in 10 liters of warm water. The solution can be poured at the very root, as it does not contain any hazardous ingredients that can cause root burn.

The traditional recipe for yeast dressing is somewhat different from the first. To prepare this type of fertilizer, you need to take 1 kilogram of alcohol (wet) yeast and dissolve them in 5 liters of warm water. Pure feed is not used in pure form, but diluted in a ratio of 1 x 10 with warm clean water.

Also, gardeners often prepare the brew on the basis of yeast, it significantly improves the appearance of plants and increases the intensity of their development. To prepare the mash, you need to take 100 grams of alcohol yeast and 100 grams of sugar, then dissolve all in three liters of warm water. Cover the container with fertilizer gauze and leave in a warm place for 7 days. To water the plants, we dilute a glass of sub-feed in 10 liters of warm water and pour no more than one liter under each plant.

How to fertilize tomatoes with yeast: we study the nuances

Let's take a look at how to water the tomatoes with yeast correctly.For young tomatoes, half a liter is enough, and an adult bush should receive at least 2 liters of feed at a time.

The first feeding of seedlings of tomatoes should be carried out after picking a week later. Feeding seedlings of tomatoes after picking allows you to accelerate the growth rate of seedlings, improve the development of the roots and their ground part. The second time its introduction is carried out before the start of flowering pets. It was experimentally proved that the roots of seedlings that receive yeast food are formed two weeks earlier, and their number is ten times more.

Remember!

• Yeast is active in a warm environment, therefore, the application of top-dressing should be carried out in well-heated soil.
• For the introduction of used only freshly prepared solution.
• It is not recommended to apply yeast fertilizers too often.
• Feeding with yeast should be combined with the introduction of ash, it will compensate for the lack of potassium and calcium, which are actively absorbed during the fermentation process.

We spend huge amounts of money on the purchase of expensive chemical fertilizers, but we don’t even think about the fact that we can be greatly benefited by the usual yeast, which also costs pennies.
