You will need:

• young tomato bush
• young potato bush
• sharp knife
• polyethylene film

At the chosen place, in our case it is a bag of earth, we plant a potato bush and a tomato bush close to each other. We leave only one branch from the potato bush, and then cut off all the side shoots and leaves from both bushes, leaving only the uppermost ones.

Then you need to make incisions at the same level on both stems closer to the bottom, at an angle of 45 degrees: an incision on one stem from bottom to top, on the other – from top to bottom, so that they then fit well into each other.

Next, we connect the cut stems together, as if inserting into each other. The junction is good, but not too tightly wrapped with plastic wrap, and then additionally fixed with a linen or other clothespin.

After about 10 days, the stems will take root and you can remove the mount. Also at this time we cut off the potato stalk and tomato root. And now you’ve got a tomato-top and potato-bottom result. It should be tied up and strengthened with a support so that in the future the tomato fruits do not definitely break the vaccine.
