WOW! Tomato harvest 2017! CHALLENGE TO MY VIEWERS STOP WASTING GET CHICKENS!

What happens here

While picking, identify any tomatoes that have worms, show signs of rot, or are significantly bruised. Instead of discarding them, place these into a dedicated 'chicken food' bucket. This practice allows for the utilization of otherwise wasted produce, providing nutritious food for the chickens and contributing to a sustainable farming or gardening approach. The presenter highlights the importance of not wasting food, especially on a farm.

Goal: Collect any tomatoes that are worm-eaten, rotting, or bruised into a separate bucket to feed to chickens, promoting a zero-waste system.
