Cooking recipes
There are several common ways to make fertilizer based on this product. It all depends on whether wet or dry yeast is used. Alternatively, wheat sourdough may or may not be used in the recipe. It is important to observe the proportions in order to eventually get the right composition. Yeast is always dissolved only in warm water and it is better to water warm soil with this fertilizer.
Recipe number 1

To strengthen the fertilizer, you can add to it a little wood ash and chicken droppings (somewhere around 500 grams). Insist all two hours. Then dilute this solution in the ratio of one to ten with ordinary water and water the plants.

Recipe number 2
If you take a kilogram of wet yeast in five liters of water, then you can prepare the second version of the fertilizer. Two hours later, when the substances enter into the reaction, it is necessary to dilute one to one with water and water the soil with fertilizer.
Recipe number 3
