Most homemakers often rush to discard rotten, spoiled without realizing they are throwing away a treasure trove. Take advantage of these incredibly useful benefits from tomatoes that seem like they can only be thrown away.

1. Grow Plants from Spoiled Tomatoes

First, carefully slice the rotten tomatoes into thin slices. Ensure that the seeds inside the tomatoes are not damaged.

Next, prepare a container or pot with loose soil, then lay the tomato slices flat on the soil, making sure they don’t overlap. After that, cover them with a thin layer of soil about 1-2 cm thick and lightly water the soil to keep it moist.

Place the pot or container in an area with plenty of sunlight and water regularly to keep the soil moist, but be careful not to overwater as it may cause the plants to rot. After about 1-2 months, the tomato plants will begin to bloom and bear fruit. Once the tomatoes are ripe, you can harvest and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

2. Use Rotten Tomatoes as Fertilizer
