TomTato
Tomato is a Delicious herbs which is used in many foods
to enhance their taste whereas Potato is a also a herb which is used
extensively. Tomtato is
an Ideal plant for those people who loves gardening but are troubled with
space. Particularly for those who are interested in growing herbs. So, Here we have a
solution. If you
want a Tomatoes and Potatoes so, why not have both plants in single container
i.e. one plant bearing tomatoes and potatoes both.
Tomtato plant
is made by grafting tomato plant on potato plant i.e. upper part is of Tomato
plant which is grafted on the root stock of Potato plant.
Here are some easy illustrated steps to graft this plant:-
1. Take a tomato and a potato seedling of approximate height 6” to 7” (Inch).
2. Pick up the plants with maximum care and gently remove all soil from roots.
4. Fill it with, as far as I know, one part manure and 4 part Coarse sand.
5. Water well such that water drains through the bottoms holes.
6.
After placing them cover
them with soil and make slight diagonal cut on both plants. Make a cut on one
plant slightly from beneath
to upward diagonally and other
plant slightly from
upward to downward diagonally.7. When you have made the Diagonal cuts overlap them.
8. Then tightly pack the cuts with Tissue and then Wrap Plumber’s tape around it so, it is tightly packed.
9. This animated picture has slight mistake after one day cut lower stem of Tomato plant beneath the graft point and Upper stem of Potato above the graft point.
10. Till the plants shows some new growth keep it in shade and then bring it back in sunlight. I kept the plant in 6 hours of sun but if I would have kept it in Shade it would have recovered fast.
11. In few days your plant will look like this.
12. After 10 days your plant will look like this and it will be showing new growth which is a good sign.
13. Lastly, do this experiment in the growing season.
