Tomato Sucker EZ DIY rooting

Pamela Scruggs
by Pamela Scruggs
I enjoy generating free tomato plants from the tomato plants I have growing from the seeds I kept from last year's tomatoes.. (hahaha that was a mouthful :)
these are some suckers pruned off
I had this old pitcher leftover from a ninja that got broken instead of throwing it away I have turned it in to my rooting pitcher.
Kabob skewers
this is my easy hack to keep the stems suspended into the water and the greenery up above from falling into the water
Use rainwater if u can
Works pretty well..and it makes me happy to have repurposed something that was destined for the trash..and it costs a lot less than a mason jar because it was free.

    confusing article,, is it about the container or the cuttings?

      It was about using the container to hang the plant and for it to keep from going into the water, is what I read. Both really good suggestions.

    The container is the subject but wisdom saves the suckers from the plants so you’ll have stronger plants and saving the suckers and rooting them you’ll have more plants. All smart ideas. I use old food cans and chopsticks or twigs in a similar way.
