Many gardeners and truck farmers have recently begun to look closely at organic farming, trying not to use chemicals to grow various crops. After all, all these poisonous substances that are contained in plant nutrition, although they increase the yield to a large extent, but in the end, they get to us on the same table. But you want to feed your household with natural and clean products from your garden.
One of the alternatives to the use of chemical growth stimulants for various garden crops are ordinary yeast. Our grandmothers knew how to feed and fertilize tomatoes with yeast. Why tomatoes? Yes, because they are the best respond to such an additive to their "diet". Although such plants, like cucumbers and potatoes, yeast is also "to taste."
We fertilize tomatoes yeast
Excellent result gives watering seedling tomatoes yeast. Then the seedlings become sturdy, the stem is powerful, and the leaves are fleshy. If the watering of tomatoes with yeast solution is carried out on seedlings, then it is advisable to do the second feeding in June. Since such treatments are usually conducted no more than two per season.
If you still doubt whether you can feed tomatoes with yeast, check out this method in several shrubs this season and compare the results. And they will certainly like you, because such a plant, thanks to a more developed root system, is resistant to diseases and gives a greater yield, compared to an unfertilized bush.
Due to the fact that living microorganisms arrive at the roots during watering with a solution of yeast, which immediately react with the chemical elements of the soil, the roots are saturated with oxygen. The root system begins to develop rapidly, and along with it the entire surface part of the plant. No wonder there is a saying "grows in leaps and bounds", because it is also applicable to agriculture, when using baker's yeast to achieve a good harvest.
Technology of fertilization with yeast
In order to carry out watering the tomato with yeast, it is necessary to prepare a working solution. There are several recipes for this, and all of them are different - someone prepares a solution with sugar, someone insists until he ferments, and someone adds a herb and chicken droppings to the container with a yeast infusion. All these methods have the right to exist, and each trucker chooses one that he likes more, backing his choice with his own experience.
Whatever it was, but traditionally the solution without any additives is prepared based on 1 kg of yeast per 5 liters of water. Yeast for a tomato should be taken in briquettes. It will be cheaper than in granular form. Water must be brought to a warm state in order to activate live microorganisms, of which yeast is composed. Before pouring tomatoes with yeast, the soil should also be warmed up, and accordingly such procedures should be carried out from the end of May.
The prepared working solution must be kept for 24 hours, after which the floor of the solution is diluted with ten liters of warm water. In the end, we get as many as ten buckets of solution for top dressing of tomatoes. This amount is enough to water twenty bushes of tomatoes. Under each bush pour out half a liter of solution. It is desirable that the soil is slightly moist, and not dry or wet.
The result of such feeding will be visible in three days. The leaves become smooth, shiny and healthy in appearance. The plant starts to gain strength quickly and build up the green mass, and soon the fruits.
