Do not throw away: old bread becomes a super fertilizer
Do you plant tomatoes in your garden or on your balcony and wish you a rich harvest? Then you should make tomato fertilizers out of old bread yourself. Read here how it works!
I have just discovered gardening for myself and I am currently looking for practical tips and tricks to make my thumb even greener.
My colleague is helpful to my sideMattias NemethvonLandidee.de. He is an experienced hobby gardener, expert for insect-friendly gardens and also tomato and peppers.
The perfect contact for all questions about my planned vegetable patch. Recently I have his articles on the subject of “Tomatoes plants“Read and came across a great tip: make tomato fertilizers out of old bread.
Instead of buying expensive fertilizers that can be bad for the environment, Mattias produces the nutrient booster for his vegetables. This is not only more ecological, but also much cheaper. Simply awesome!
Make the tomato fertilizer out of old bread yourself
For the tomato fertilizer you only need two simple ingredients that you are guaranteed to have at home and a lockable bucket:
- Old bread
- Bucket with lid
- Water
This is how it works:
For example, collect a bakery bag full of bread remains and pour it into a bucket. Pour the old -fashioned bread in the bucket with water and close it with a lid. Then weigh the lid with a stone.
The whole thing has to be in a warm place for four weeks. During this time there is fermentation. After a month, the homemade tomato fertilizer from old bread is ready and ready for use.
Put the tomato fertilizer out of bread
Tomato expert Mattias Nemeth recommends: "I now either use the homemade fertilizer at the beginning of the garden season either undiluted as a soil improver on beds or I use it slightly diluted as a tomato or paprika fertilizer."
In the end, the professional has another tip ready, which in summer and autumn helps you to have a rich tomato harvest: "I also give the tomato plants additional calcium fertilizers because calcium is lost in fermentation."
