for some reason i definitely thought this was going to be one of those fuckin… infinite chocolate things. or like, some really weird trick involved. literally it’s just “put the tomatoes in some dirt and they grow into MORE TOMATOES 😱” which like… yea… that IS how plants work but i don’t know if it’s a life hack
THIS #LIFEHACK IS TOO POWERFUL YOU WILL LITERALLY GET AN ENDLESS SUPPLY

Doesn’t tomatoes make soil toxic
…..No, tomatoes do not make soil toxic. Otherwise dropped tomatoes would blight entire gardens instead of producing more tomatoes.
I think what you might be thinking of is the issue that some urban gardeners have where the soil in urban ground lot is ALREADY contaminated with chemicals and metals and other nastiness, which can make its’ way into produce grown there if the soil is not first properly treated.
Hence why container gardening with potting mix or “clean” dirt is a good idea if you’re gardening in the city.
Thank you for this! I was trying to grow things in the ground again this last year and this man(runs an urban garden) told me because I grew tomatoes I messed up my dirt and that’s why nothing else would grow. But maybe yeah I misunderstood. Thanks!
Certain plants can change the pH of the soil sometimes, and they may have sucked all the nutrients out of it, so a different crop with different pH needs might have trouble growing. Some fertilizer or potting mix might help. Starting your seeds in trays before the spring planting may make a difference too!
If you want to check the pH of the soil, a decent one is under $15 at most gardening stores. You can also use well-rinsed plain used coffee grounds to neutralize the soil and add some nutrients back in. Just mix them into the earth as you’re digging it up for planting.
