Yeast dressing for cucumbers - timing and recipes
Content:
Any plant requires regular fertilization. Organic, environmentally friendly make-ups made by hand according to folk recipes are highly valued among gardeners and gardeners. One of them is a yeast dressing for cucumbers. In this article, you will learn how to make and how to properly feed and nourish plants with this fertilizer.
Feeding with yeast solution - the effect of yeast
Yeast is essentially a single-celled microorganism that, when it enters the soil, stimulates the bacteria necessary for the plant. The soil bacteria themselves do nothing to cucumbers, but they contribute to the decomposition of organic substances, which are ultimately well absorbed by both cucumbers and other plants. Due to the action of microorganisms, the soil is also enriched with phosphorus and nitrogen saturation, thereby improving the composition of the soil and the structure of the plant.
Supplementing with yeast also promotes accelerated root growth of the plant. Experts say that the developed root formation of cucumbers is much stronger when overfeeding cucumbers with yeast fertilizer, it is also worth noting the rapid growth of root development: they develop 10-12 days faster than those cucumbers that are not fertilized with yeast.
Another important advantage of feeding with yeast is its long-term effect, which undoubtedly saves the amount of fertilizers used and the effort spent by gardeners and gardeners - after feeding with yeast, cucumbers can do without fertilizers for more than a month.
Yeast dressing for cucumbers: Timing
The first feeding of cucumbers with yeast is carried out at the seedling stage: 3 days before the pick or 7-10 after it. The second feeding takes place after one or two months, when the ovary of fruits begins in cucumbers. By this time, the actions of the first feeding will just begin to end. Fertilizing with yeast is necessary as long as the cucumbers have a growing season. In this case, in one season, about four additional dressings are just obtained.
And features ..
Feeding with yeast is recommended to be used together with ash, it will help restore the necessary balance of potassium and calcium in the soil, which are absorbed during fermentation. Also, do not forget that it is undesirable to mix yeast with manure or poultry droppings, as this will reduce the beneficial properties of all components to an absolute minimum.
How to make a yeast feed
By themselves, yeast feeding recipes are simple to make and use: you need water, yeast, and a container.
Recipe 1
One hundred grams of yeast must be diluted in 1 liter of heated water. We dilute the solution with nine liters of water. One liter of the resulting solution is poured onto the root of one plant. Feeding with a solution can be done on the same day as it was made.
You can make a small change in this recipe in the form of fifty grams of sugar, but in this case, the solution will need to be left for several days to complete fermentation. Then you can use it in the same ratio: pour 1 liter of solution onto 1 cucumber root.
Recipe 2
To prepare this feed, we dilute 100 grams of fresh yeast in one liter of warm milk or any other dairy product. The resulting mixture is infused for two hours, then we also dissolve with 9 liters of water. Then you can water or spray the bush with the solution we received.
Recipe 3
For recipe number three, we use dry baker's yeast. Add 10 g of dry yeast to a bucket of warm water, then put 2 tablespoons of white sugar, then let the mixture brew, then dilute with five liters of water.
All yeast-fed solutions are recommended to be used immediately after preparation.
Negative reviews after feeding with yeast are quite rare. The recipes are simple to manufacture and use, and the result is extremely effective and visible already 3 hours after feeding. However, the use of products above the norm may have a negative effect. Therefore, for a positive result, it is very important to be careful and act strictly according to the prescription.
