February is the time when tomato seedlings can begin to act up: reach for the light, weaken and slowly grow roots. To avoid this, regular dry baker's yeast is used instead of chemical stimulants. They work as a natural activator of root system growth.
A pinch of yeast (about 2-3 grams) is dissolved in a liter of warm water with the addition of a teaspoon of sugar. This mixture is allowed to brew for 1-2 hours until light foam appears. The resulting solution is a ready-made fertilizer. The seedlings are watered with it once, two weeks after picking.
Yeast creates a favorable environment in the soil for soil microorganisms, which help roots more actively absorb nutrients. As a result, the plants become stocky, with thick stems and a developed root system. Such watering is not direct nutrition, but a “push” to activate the seedlings’ own powers.
After 7-10 days, the difference becomes noticeable: the bushes look stronger and more confident. By the time of planting, they will be so strong that they will really begin to “ask” to go into open ground or a greenhouse, will easily tolerate transplantation and will quickly begin to grow.
