1. Grow New Tomato Plants from Rotten Tomatoes
Rather than throwing them away, use overripe tomatoes to grow fresh plants.
Slice the spoiled tomatoes into thin pieces, ensuring the seeds remain intact.
Prepare a pot or container with loose soil and arrange the slices flat on the surface, avoiding overlap.
Cover them with a thin layer of soil (about 1-2 cm thick) and lightly water to keep the soil moist.
Place the container in a sunny spot and continue watering regularly, but avoid overwatering to prevent rotting.
In about 1-2 months, the seedlings will sprout and eventually produce fresh tomatoes for harvesting.
2. Transform Rotten Tomatoes into Fertilizer
Spoiled tomatoes can be turned into a natural, nutrient-rich fertilizer for your plants.
Cut the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a clean bottle.
Add rice water and let the mixture sit for 3-5 days.
The result is a homemade fertilizer packed with nutrients that promote healthy plant growth.
Instead of discarding rotten tomatoes, try these sustainable and practical ways to make the most of them!
