Do you often find yourself with more food than you can eat? It’s frustrating to waste perfectly good produce, especially tomatoes. But there’s a simple solution that not only reduces waste but also saves money.
Instead of tossing overripe tomatoes, you can grow new ones at home. According to “The Wannabe Homesteader” YouTube channel, all you need is a pot, soil, and overripe tomatoes.
Here’s how:
- Slice overripe tomatoes into quarters.
- Place them in a pot filled with soil, covering them lightly.
- Water occasionally and wait 7-14 days for tomato plants to sprout.
- Transplant the healthiest plants into another pot.
This method not only rescues tomatoes from the trash but also offers a sustainable way to enjoy homegrown produce. Share this tip to reduce food waste and savor fresh tomatoes—watch how simple it is in this video:
