It is useful to start feeding strawberries at the end of April or the beginning of May with a unique fertilizer – yeast.
The incredible fertilizer shows excellent results: strawberries grow and develop rapidly, and the berries are all juicy, sugary and large.
Benefits of yeast
The product contains proteins, carbohydrates, nitrogen and fats, including potassium, phosphoric acid, B vitamins, micro- and macroelements.
Yeast starter contains cytokinin and auxin, important hormones that stimulate plant growth at the cellular level.
How to properly feed strawberries with yeast
It will be useful to choose a fertilizer based on dry or other types of yeast, and it is recommended to apply it during the period of budding and flowering.
Strawberries need nitrogen, which yeast can provide through its activity.
You will definitely not go wrong if you give preference to this fertilizer, organizing watering of garden strawberries with a solution based on dry yeast.
Yeast Feeding Recipe
Preparing yeast fertilizer is a simple task and is within the power of any gardener.
The nutrient solution consists of the following ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon dry yeast, 5 liters of warm water, 2 tablespoons sugar.
The solution should be left to sit for about 2 or 3 hours, and before watering it is important to dilute the concentrate with water at a ratio of 1:10.
Precautionary measures
Strawberries, like yeast fungi, draw potassium from the soil. In order not to deplete its reserves, it is appropriate to scatter ash around the bushes after watering with yeast, which will help restore this element.
You should not rely solely on yeast supplements, and their use will be beneficial if you do not exceed the permissible dosage.
