Spent TPW Yeast in the garden

Postby Jewelz » Sun Jun 07, 2020 12:08 pm

Hi everyone!
I've read that spent wash can be used in the garden as a fertiliser and acidifier. (I have alkaline soil)
I was wondering if the left over yeast bed would also good? Or could it cause issues because it's not cooked and still alive?

I don’t do it anymore, it stinks to high heaven, turns the soil so acidic it rusted the side of my shed and did I mention the stink? :puke-huge: :puke-huge: :puke-huge:

Same, and along the fence line. Rather use this than herbicides

Are you sure that someone has not been pissing on the side of the shed.

With my spent stuff from fermenters I just chuck them over the ledge as my shed is built into the side of the hill, it helps to keep the weeds down too, I also wash the fermenters and the waste water dilutes the spent stuff. No real smells at all and no long grass for snakes to hide in either :laughing-rolling: :laughing-rolling:
