The Wannabe Homesteader posted a video of how he grew and made his tomato harvest in his own house.

It's quite simple really and, frankly, interesting to see.

The man took an overripe tomato and cut it into quarter-inch thick slices and threw four of them into a pot filled with compost potting soil. Simply put, a bucket full of dirt!

Then he sprinkled some more soil on them and set about to wait.

While waiting, all he did was water the dirt every once in a while, and within two weeks, mother nature yielded 50 or 60 sprouting seedlings!

At this stage, he advised that it would be better to transplant the bigger stronger seedlings to other pots and suggested two seedlings per pot.

All you have to do after that is stand back and watch them grow, and you would have your steady supply of fresh tomatoes.
