Feeding cucumbers and tomatoes with yeast

What is the use of yeast as a top dressing

Often, it is difficult to harvest a crop from a site. There may be various reasons for this: illness, bad weather, poor soil composition. In order to somehow increase the yield, gardeners come to resort to the use of various dressings. Few people know that you can use not only purchased fertilizers, but you can use simple and affordable means. Feeding with yeast is one such remedy.

Yeast is just such a remedy. Most often, yeast is used as a top dressing for cucumbers. The main advantage is that yeast is an environmentally friendly substance. Using yeast as fertilizer, plants are not capable of accumulating harmful substances. Yeast is the custodian of essential and useful trace elements necessary for the development of various crops. Among the disadvantages, one can single out the fact that the soil after the application of yeast can acidify, and calcium and potassium will also be washed out. And without these important elements, it is difficult to imagine good fruiting. To avoid this situation, wood ash should be added to the soil before adding yeast.
