How I Grew Potatoes And Tomatoes On The Same Plant

I thought it would be fun to graft a tomato plant onto a potato plant to create one plant that produces potatoes underneath the soil and tomatoes on the top....

    How on earth do you expect someone to take your video seriously with a thumbnail like that?!

    Not only do the tomatoes look incredibly badly photoshopped in, but it looks like your thumb is growing out of your shoulder 😂

    What hath science wrought‽

    Seriously though, neat video. I’m not sure it’s very practical for anybody except maybe apartment/condo folks trying to maximize space on a small balcony or something though, because it seems like the tomato and potato yields were smaller than they otherwise would have been.

      On large fields it is probably too much work to do this, but in regular gardens I would say having the tomatoes grow a bit slower is of benefit to space the yield over the season and having some “free” potatoes at the end of the season is nice to have.

      I wonder if the yields would improve with less tomato grafts or keeping some of the potato shoots intact
