Unlock a Bountiful Harvest: Get Thousands of Tomatoes for Just $2 with this Gardening Hack!

As the world becomes more environmentally conscious, people are looking for ways to live sustainably. One way to do this is by growing your own food. Gardening doesn’t have to be expensive, and a plant lover has shared a cheap hack that will have you drowning in tomatoes this year.

Garden expert Libby Flanagan (@libbyzflanagan) is on a mission to live sustainably alongside her husband, daughter, and pet chickens. One aspect of her greener lifestyle includes growing her own food – and she said the endeavor isn’t as costly or daunting as you might think.

To grow a fruit as versatile as a tomato, all you need is a $2 carton of eggs. “Use this trick to grow thousands of tomatoes this year,” she began in the video. After finding a good location for your veggie plot – dependent on sun exposure ground level ­– dig a deep hole in the soil. “Next, we’re going to take an egg and crack it right into the hole and then break it up,” she said, mashing the egg with a hand shovel.

Libby then took off the bottom leaves from her baby tomato plant before burying it in the dirt hole. “You see all those little hairs along the tomato plant?” she said, pointing to the stem. “Those will all become roots, which is why we like to bury these deep.” After sticking the budding plant in the hole, she piled dirt all around to secure it in place.

As for why the hack is so egg-cellent, it’s because the soil around the tomato plant will absorb the egg’s calcium and receive a nutrient boost. The girl mom often shares her gardening tips on TikTok to inspire others to go for it in their backyards.

Whether you like pizza, pasta, or Bloody Mary’s, tomatoes are good to have on hand, and Libby knows how to get the most out of a single plant. This hack is not only cheap but also sustainable. By growing your own food, you’re reducing your carbon footprint and ensuring that you know exactly where your food comes from.

Gardening is also a great way to get outside and connect with nature. It can be a relaxing and therapeutic activity that has numerous benefits for your mental health. Plus, if you’re successful, you’ll have fresh produce to enjoy all summer long.

So, if you’re looking for a cheap and easy way to grow tomatoes this year, give Libby’s hack a try. All you need is a carton of eggs, a tomato plant, and some soil. You might be surprised at how many tomatoes you can grow with just a little bit of effort.
