Old-School Tomato Fertilizer Recipe: Yeast, Sugar & Banana Peel for Bigger, Juicier Tomatoes

🌱 How to Use
Apply the mixture every 15 days.

Pour it directly at the base of each tomato plant (avoid spraying the leaves).

Use in the early morning or late evening when the sun isn’t too strong.

A single batch of this mixture is enough to feed 6–10 tomato plants, depending on their size.

🌟 Benefits of This DIY Fertilizer
Here’s what makes this old-school remedy a favorite among organic gardeners:

✅ Bigger, Juicier Tomatoes
The potassium from the banana peel and the root-stimulating action of yeast encourage stronger, healthier fruit development. Expect plumper, tastier tomatoes.

✅ Stronger Root Systems
Yeast and sugar improve microbial activity around the roots, allowing plants to absorb more nutrients and water from the soil. Strong roots = resilient plants.

✅ Budget-Friendly and Natural
This feed costs only a few cents to make and eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers. It’s safe for kids, pets, and the environment.

✅ Boosted Flowering and Fruit Set
Healthy plants will flower more, and with better nutrition, more flowers will turn into fruits.

👩‍🌾 Tips for Best Results
Use well-drained soil for your tomato plants.

Mulch around the base to retain moisture and protect beneficial microbes.

Combine this feed with regular watering and full sun (6–8 hours per day).

Rotate this tonic with other natural amendments like compost tea or diluted fish emulsion for even better results.

🚫 Caution:
Don’t overuse. Stick to once every 2 weeks to avoid fungal buildup.

Always dilute before using, especially if applying near young seedlings.

Store unused mix in the refrigerator for no more than 24 hours.
