Baker's yeast - use in the garden
Baker's yeast can be used as a fertilizer , which stimulates the development of the root system and accelerates the growth of plants, making them grow very luxuriantly. Yeast is rich in many substances valuable to plants, including carbohydrates, B vitamins, organic iron, amino acids and trace elements. In addition, they inhabit the roots of plants and enter into symbiosis with them, while protecting them against the attacks of harmful soil microorganisms.Baker's yeast can also be used as a sprayAfter spraying it on the plant, they colonize its leaves, displacing microorganisms harmful to plants, causing diseases.

We can add about 1 tablespoon of liquid gray soap to the solution so that the liquid stays better on the leaves. With the preparation prepared in this way, spray the plants , and the best way is to pour them from the top. We cover both the upper and lower sides of the leaves with the liquid.
