Are you looking for a simple, cheap and above all natural way to boost the growth of garlic, tomatoes and cucumbers in your garden? Yeast as a fertilizer is truly a miraculous remedy that can work wonders with your plants. Thanks to its unique composition, it provides important nutrients to the soil and the plants themselves, improves their resilience and significantly supports fruit production.
Why is yeast so effective?
Yeast is not just an ingredient for baking. It contains a high amount of proteins, B vitamins, minerals and enzymes that positively affect plant metabolism. It also supports the life of beneficial microorganisms in the soil, thereby naturally increasing plants’ immunity against diseases and pests.
Regular fertilizing with a yeast solution helps primarily:
- faster growth and strengthening of the root system,
- a richer green color of the leaves,
- the formation of more flowers and consequently more fruits,
- overall higher yields of garlic, tomatoes and cucumbers.
How to prepare yeast fertilizer step by step
1. Activating the yeast
- Add 2–3 tablespoons of dry yeast to 1 liter of warm water (30–35 °C).
- Stir in 1 teaspoon of sugar, which will speed up the start of fermentation.
- Let it stand for 1–2 hours – the yeast will start to foam and ferment.
2. Dilution as needed
- For a stronger effect: dilute in a ratio of 1 : 5 (yeast mixture : water).
- For gentler use: a ratio of 1 : 10 will suffice.
3. Application in the garden
Water the soil evenly around the plants – garlic, tomatoes and cucumbers. The ideal time is early morning or evening, when there is little risk of strong water evaporation.
4. Frequency of fertilizing
Repeat once every 2–3 weeks throughout the growing season. After just a few weeks you will notice faster growth and a healthier appearance of the plants.
Advantages of yeast fertilizer
- 100% natural solution: without chemical additives, gentle on the soil and the environment.
- Cheap and accessible: you only need common kitchen ingredients.
- Significantly increases yield: helps the growth and fertility of garlic, tomatoes and cucumbers.
- Improves soil condition: strengthens the soil microflora, prevents the overgrowth of pathogens.
Tips for achieving the best results
- Before fertilizing with the yeast solution, water the plants with clean water first – the preparation will then be absorbed better.
- For cucumbers choose a weaker concentration (1 : 10), tomatoes can tolerate a stronger one.
- On hot days water in the evening to avoid sunburning the leaves.
- During rainy periods reduce the frequency of fertilizing to avoid over-fertilizing the soil.
