How to feed flowers with yeast: recipes

Yeast is an indispensable additive for baking and a variety of starter cultures. Rarely does the preparation of a fluffy dough do without this free-flowing substance. However, the scope of their application is much wider than it seems at first glance. Did you know that you can feed garden and indoor flowers with yeast? Let's take a closer look at the cases in which they can be used as fertilizer, uses and tips.

Influence of yeast

Yeast feeding is primarily used to bring micro and macro nutrients to the soil where the flowers grow. By themselves, they contain proteins, carbohydrates, B vitamins, and a variety of mineral supplements. After dissolving, they form compounds that strengthen the roots of already planted plants or help them form seedlings faster; moreover, vitamins help accelerate the regenerative processes of flowers, simultaneously saturating them with necessary additives, for example, organic iron, amino acids.

Yeast can be used to fertilize plants

Fertilization with yeast has a positive effect on the composition of the soil. Active growth of beneficial microorganisms is obtained, which, interacting with soil and organic residues, form nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium. The influence of yeast on plant roots can be noted already at the stage of placing the seedling in the solution. It forms roots much faster, becomes denser, more fleshy. Such feeding at the stage of growing seedlings hardens the flowers, making them more resistant to diseases, pathogenic organisms and the harmful effects of the environment.

Recipes

It doesn't take much time and effort to prepare yeast fertilizer. If you do not have fresh or powdered raw materials, you can replace it with wheat grains, hops, bread. Most often, a solution is prepared, since it is more convenient to bring it into the ground, controlling the degree of saturation of the space around the plant. Fresh, dry, pressed raw materials are used, combined with sugar.

Recipe number 1. Take 10 liters of warm water, dissolve 10 g of dry yeast, 60 g of sugar. Set aside the resulting solution in a dark, warm place for 2-3 hours. This fertilizer should be diluted 1: 5 so as not to harm the plants.

You can also feed home flowers with a decoction of yeast.

Recipe number 2. Fresh yeast should be dissolved in warm water at the rate of 1 part of raw material to 5 parts of water. The solution is left for a day, and then additionally diluted at the rate of 1:10.

Recipe number 3. Boil 1 cup dry hops for an hour, then strain and mix with 2 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar and 4 tbsp. spoons of flour. Mix thoroughly until the lumps are completely dissolved, leave the mixture in a warm place for 2 days. When the solution has settled, add 2 grated potatoes, mix again. That's it, the leaven is ready for use.

Roughly the same sourdough can be obtained from wheat grains. You will need 1 glass of wheat, which you need to soak for 24 hours until sprouts appear. Grind these sprouts, mix with 2 tbsp. spoons of sugar and 2 tbsp. spoons of flour. The mixture should be cooked over low heat for 20 minutes, and then left in a warm place for a day.

What does the solution ready for feeding look like?

Recipe number 4. You will need a container with a volume of 10 liters. Fold together bread crusts or crackers, 1 cup of wood ash, sour milk, a packet of dry yeast. Fill it all with warm water, wrap it well with a rug or blanket, and then leave it in a warm place. Stir this mixture twice a day for a week.

In fact, absolutely any herbal supplements can be used as an additional ingredient: cut grass, leaves, potato tops. These ingredients will help to saturate the earth with nitrogen, which will positively affect the growth of flowers.

How to feed properly

It is especially important to feed and fertilize garden flowers as they are subject to many environmental hazards. But this must be done wisely so as not to ruin the flower plantings. Remember that yeast mixes only work well in warm ground - wait for a steady temperature before feeding.

Compost tea can be added to such a solution to improve the result.

Practice moderation, do not feed your flower beds monthly. It would be most sensible to apply fertilizer during transplanting seedlings, that is, in the spring or early summer, and then add as needed. If you notice that the flower has weakened or began to wilt, you can support it with a nutrient mixture - this will start the mechanisms of vegetation and regeneration. Remember that you can fertilize by watering around flower plantings, but it is not recommended to apply it under the stem itself - you can damage it. Also remember that during fermentation, bacteria actively absorb potassium from both the soil and the roots of the plant. This problem can be solved by adding wood ash to the solution.
