A gardener reveals: How to use yeast effectively in the garden! 🌿酵
It may sound unusual, but yeast, this unassuming kitchen miracle cure, can actually work wonders in the garden! Many experienced gardeners and organic farmers swear by its positive effects on plant growth, root development, and soil health. Yeast is rich in vitamins (especially B vitamins), trace elements, proteins, and enzymes that can stimulate soil microbiome and improve plant nutrient uptake.
Here are the most common and effective ways you can use yeast in your garden:
Yeast as a growth accelerator and root stimulator
Yeast can act as a natural growth accelerator, especially for seedlings and young plants.
Application: Dissolve 10 grams of fresh baker’s yeast (or 1 packet of dry yeast) in 10 liters of lukewarm water. You can also add a teaspoon of sugar to “feed” the yeast and stimulate its activity. Let the mixture sit for a few hours until it becomes slightly foamy.
Use: Use this solution to water your seedlings or young plants. The yeast water stimulates root growth, making the plants stronger and more resilient. It is especially useful after transplanting to facilitate the establishment process.
Frequency: Don’t use this method too often—once every two to four weeks is sufficient.
