Potatoes and tomatoes are two distinct crops that require different farming methods. However, a video showing how to grow both crops on a single plant has gone viral on the Internet. Alen Joseph, an Instagram user, demonstrated a grafting technique that allows potatoes and tomatoes to be grown together.
In his video, Joseph shows how to use this technique. He also says, "The grafting is done with the two plants, like tomato and potato. The farmers can get double income from one plant. You can get about 1.5 kg of potatoes and two kg of tomatoes." (Also Read: Woman 'washes' naan before consuming it, viral video sparks chatter. Watch)
