Do you grow tomatoes every year in a vegetable garden ?

This year, make a change and try this technique ! If you have potting soil and an organic tomato, you can try to do this right now. Otherwise, you will have to buy bags of potting soil in all garden centers and organic tomatoes in your local supermarket.

And instead of throwing the organic tomatoes into the compost bin, place 4 tomato slices on potting soil, in a pot. The tomatoes will decompose, but the seeds will germinate and make new tomato plants !

Have you tried it before and it did not work ?

Are you sure it was an organic tomato ? Because the "normal" tomatoes that you buy at the supermarket are not made for that, so it should not work. The fruit will simply not grow.

You will need :

- A bucket

- Potting soil ( the potting soil contains nutrients that help the plant to grow )

- Slices of organic tomatoes

- Water

- Stake

How to do :

1) Fill half of the bucket with potting soil

2) Add slices of organic tomatoes on top of potting soil

3) Cover the tomato slices with some potting soil

4) Place the bucket in a very sunny place all day

5) Keep the soil always a little moist, but not soggy

6) After 8 to 10 weeks you should see shoots coming out of the ground ! You have to be patient, but this technique works !

7) When the plant starts to grow, use a stake to help the plant grow more easily. ( The more the plant grows, the more plants will provide fruit )

8) Harvest fruits when they are almost ripe, but before they are eaten by insects or small rodents

9) Place the tomatoes in the sun, but in safety place ( on a windowsill for example ) so that they finish to ripen

Here's a great way to grow organic tomatoes !
