How to Make a Powerful Homemade Yeast Fertilizer for Cucumber Plants
1. Fill a Tub with Water
To make this quick fertilizer, fill a tub with a liter of water. Make sure, the water is clean and non-chlorinated.
2. Add Sugar & Yeast
Add one tablespoon each of sugar and dry yeast. Yeast is a great bio-fertilizer that produces carbon dioxide gas when mixed with sugar, which is highly beneficial for new growth in plants.

6. Repeat the Process Thrice for Best Results
You may feed the cucumber plants with this fertilizer thrice—while they are still small, again when the plant bears flowers, and finally when it bears fruits.
Do not feed more than three times, as that might result in salt buildup in the soil, leading to bud drop or root rot.
Note: You can also use this fertilizer for other vegetables too!
