So how does it work? According to the gardeners, yeast serves as a “powerhouse of nutrients” for plants, supplying vital elements such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium, as well as B vitamins and proteins.
These nutrients are essential for supporting robust growth and fruit development in strawberries.
Additionally, sugar “acts as a catalyst for beneficial soil microorganisms, enhancing soil health and creating an optimal environment for plant growth".
Yeast and sugar work together to promote “strong, healthy strawberry plants with abundant yields of delicious fruit”.
The fertiliser should first be applied when the plants are still small seedlings. The application should be repeated when plants flower.
The third application should occur when the fruit appears. It is not recommended to use the mix more than three times during the growth season.
