Want your tomato plants to keep producing juicy fruit all summer long — even into fall? Give them just 3 doses of this all-natural, yeast-based fertilizer, and watch them thrive through temperature swings, cloudy days, and late-season stress.
This simple homemade mixture helps boost growth, flower production, and resilience — all using ingredients you probably already have!
The Secret Fertilizer for Long-Lasting Tomato Yields
What You’ll Need:
- Water: 2.5–2.7 liters (boiled and cooled)
- Active dry yeast: 100 grams
- Sugar: ½ cup
How to Make It: Step-by-Step
1. Prepare the Yeast Mix
- Dissolve the yeast and sugar in a bit of warm water (just like you’re making bread dough).
- Let it sit for 10–15 minutes until it starts to bubble.
2. Start the Fermentation
- Pour the cooled, boiled water into a clean 3-liter container (glass or plastic).
- Add the bubbly yeast mixture.
- Cover loosely with cheesecloth or a kitchen towel to let it breathe.
- Leave in a warm place for a few days, stirring occasionally.
It’s ready when the foaming stops — this means the fermentation is complete and your plant tonic is full of beneficial microbes and nutrients.
How to Use It (Dilution & Application)
Dilute: Mix 1 cup of the fermented mixture into 10 liters of rainwater or dechlorinated tap water.
Apply:
- Water at the base of each tomato plant, soaking the root zone.
- Do not apply to the leaves — this is a root-fed tonic.
When to Apply:
- First dose: Early summer (June)
- Second dose: Mid-summer (July/August)
- Final dose: By mid-September
Why This Works:
This fermented fertilizer:
- Boosts fruit set and production
- Improves root strength and nutrient uptake
- Helps tomatoes resist disease and temperature stress
- Keeps plants going into cooler autumn months
The yeast provides B vitamins and microbes that support soil life, while sugar feeds beneficial organisms that improve nutrient absorption.
The Result? Tomatoes into October!
With just 3 applications of this natural brew:
- Your tomato plants will stay green, strong, and loaded with fruit
- They’ll handle temperature drops and less sunlight better
- You’ll enjoy delicious tomatoes well into fall — long after other gardens have wrapped up
