Always wanted to try this! So I get a never ending supply of French fries and ketchup, (while the world outside burns).
I'd be very cautious knowing how poisonous a potato apple can be Might be fine to eat a tomato off a graft but what if the potato plant put a sideshoot out with a fruit that looks like a tomato but is full of solanine
I thought this would be a good idea to use suckers from the tomato plants. Instead of letting them go to waste. So why graft them on potatoes, (as potato leaves aren't good for anything).
I just root my suckers up separately Shahbaz, good way of getting extra plants for free They take root very easily, especially if you plant them deep as they've usually got roots forming on the sides of the branches
Yes, true, but the roots now don't give anything. While with grafting, you get tomatoes and potatoes!
I had tomatoes and potatoes without ever picking up a grafting knife. I planted the tomato plant and forgot I'd planted a potato there.
Im sure that grafting tomatoes onto potatoes is a fun novelty. I wonder if that doesn't reduce the yields, since the leaves would be supporting both crops. I don't know. I've grafted tomatoes onto hybrid specialty rootstocks designed to invigorate the plant growth, increase the yield, and make the plants resistant to tomato plant diseases. The rootstocks were expensive, but it worked. The plants grow bigger, faster, tougher. I remember reading that they are used commercially. Also, grafting watermelon onto squash. I tried that but failed at it. I did a lot of fruit tree grafting, mainly to have pollinating varieties within the same tree, and try different varieties without growing more trees. I had the most success with grafting apples onto highly dwarfing rootstocks. I also did a lot of grafting with cherries, pears, and plums. I'm not sure the first video, grafting tomatoes onto potatoes, will be successful. The plants seem much too big. I think it would be more successful at smaller size.
