If you’re similar to me, chances are you find yourself filling your refrigerator with more food than you can consume. It’s not a deliberate plan, but somehow I end up eating out more frequently than I initially anticipated. The most frustrating aspect is discarding perfectly good food that was just edible a few days ago. However, nowadays, I’m making an effort to improve my eating habits, reduce waste, and also save some money along the way!
After reading this, you’ll reconsider letting foods like overripe tomatoes go bad before using them; they are just one example of items that sometimes meet this fate.
Rather than heading to the store to purchase new tomatoes, you have the option to cultivate your own at home.
The YouTube channel “The Wannabe Homesteader” demonstrated how, within a few weeks, they successfully grew tomatoes using only a pot, soil, and a few old tomatoes!
- Commence by cutting up a few overripe tomatoes.
- Place the tomato slices into a pot filled with soil and proceed to cover them with a bit more soil.
- Water intermittently and be patient for 7-14 days, during which you should witness the emergence of tomato plants.
- Select the largest and most developed tomato plants, then transfer them to a different pot for replanting.
Witness the incredible simplicity in this video demonstration:
Until now, it never occurred to me that I could grow tomato plants from overripe tomatoes, and it seems I’m not the only one in this situation.
