How are good seedling yeast
Let's see what exactly yeast will help a beginner or an avid gardener. The primary effect of yeast on plants is to strengthen and increase plant hardiness. It is not always possible to arrange all plantings so that the crops have enough sunlight. Yeast top dressing can help reduce damage from lack of light. In addition, this substance strengthens the cuttings and shoots of shrubs, stimulates the development of the root system.
Fertilization with yeast not only stimulates plant growth, but also becomes a source of new bacteria beneficial for development. Simple arithmetic is used: under the influence of yeast, plants form roots almost two weeks earlier, while increasing their number several times. Agree, a good help to get strong and healthy seedlings.
Top dressing of crops in early spring leads to the fact that the plants tolerate the pick more calmly and stretch much less. Positive manifestations affect not only the appearance of the plant, but also its structure, future yield. They are fed with yeast in order to rebuild the composition of the soil.
Yeast activates microorganisms, which accelerates the processing of organic matter and the release of nitrogen and potassium into the soil. They act most actively on tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and have a beneficial effect on the growth of petunias and geraniums. In principle, any plant will enjoy a nutrient mixture that facilitates growth and helps to better cope with environmental influences.
Feeding proportions
Considering all the positive aspects of the effect of yeast cultures on plants, you need to be smart about the composition of the nutrient mixture so as not to harm the plantings. You can fertilize by other means, but why, if yeast is always at hand. The basis for any mixture is yeast, sugar, water. For 10 liters of water there are 10 g of dry yeast and 3-5 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar. True, the resulting solution will still have to be diluted 1:10, otherwise the concentrate will harm the plantings.

- Mix 1 bucket of green grass, 0.5 kg of crackers, 500 g of mushroom powder in a 50-70 l barrel, leave for 2-3 days.
- In 5 liters of warm water, dilute 2 g of ascorbic acid, 2 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar and 1 tbsp. a spoonful of powder.Insist for a day, dilute the solution 1:10 before use.
As you can see, a lot of nutritional formula is obtained from the available tools. They use not only grass, as an ingredient are suitable: potato tops, leaves from trees, bushes, hops. Bottom line: You will have a nitrogen-rich fertilizer that can be used to feed any seedlings or adult plants. You can feed crops with absolutely any tool at hand - the result will only improve.
True, it happens that mushroom powder is not at hand. Then the leaven can be made from wheat grains. Take a glass of wheat, fill it with water, and then leave it in a warm, dark place for a day.

Boil it over low heat and put it back in a dark, warm place for a day. Then it remains only to dilute with water before use.
Application rules
Mixing the solution is half the battle. The main thing is to properly fertilize the seedlings with them. To accelerate the growth of cuttings, you can immerse them in the solution for a day. Here lies an important point - yeast loves warmth, in the cold their development slows down. You will need a well-warmed soil for the fertilizer to work at full capacity.
Often it is impossible to fertilize or feed seedlings. You can save this remedy in case of transplantation or plant disease. Remember, fertilization stimulates vegetation. In addition, fermentation actively absorbs potassium and calcium, so it is important to fertilize the soil with wood ash so that the soil is not depleted. Before fertilizing the seedlings - moisten the soil, but do not make it too wet.
Yeast feeding of seedlings is quick and, as they say, simple. By mixing 10 liters of solution, you get 10 buckets of ready-to-use substance. With this amount, you can feed 20-30 tomato bushes! And how the cucumbers will be delighted with such a gift. After 3-4 days, you will notice that the leaves of the seedlings have become shiny, smooth, and the stems have become stronger. You can apply the solution several times per season and get healthy, fertile crops.
