Want healthy, juicy and tasty tomatoes in your garden without using chemicals? Try an old, proven recipe used by our grandmothers – yeast fertilizer for tomatoes. This natural feed not only supports plant growth but also improves soil quality and increases yields.
Why yeast?
Yeast is a great helper in the garden. It contains B vitamins, proteins and enzymes that stimulate the activity of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. This improves nutrient uptake, leading to a stronger root system and a richer harvest.
