If any of your tomatoes have gone bad, don't throw them away. Take the seeds out from inside and bury them in the soil. If you prefer, you can wash and dry the seeds to store them. This is what baby tomato saplings look like. With timely watering, adequate sunlight, and adding baking soda, you will get plenty of tomatoes.

Sustainable Gardening: Growing Tomatoes from Kitchen Waste
This is a fantastic "Zero-Waste" tip! Many people don't realize that a spoiled tomato is actually a goldmine for a future garden. Turning kitchen scraps into a source of fresh, organic food is both rewarding and eco-friendly.

How to Grow Tomatoes from Scraps
Harvesting Seeds: You can simply slice the spoiled tomato and place the slices directly in the soil, or squeeze the pulp out.

The Drying Method: If you aren't ready to plant yet, wash the seeds in a fine strainer to remove the gel, and let them dry on a paper towel for 2-3 days before storing.

Planting: Cover the seeds with about half an inch of potting soil.

The "Sapling" Stage: Tomato sprouts usually appear within 7-10 days. They are delicate, so avoid over-watering at this stage!

A Quick Expert Note on Baking Soda
Using baking soda in the garden is a popular "pro-hack." Here is why it works:

The Sweetness Secret: Sprinkling a tiny bit of baking soda on the soil (not the plant itself) can help lower the acidity of the soil. Since tomatoes thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil, this can actually make the fruit taste sweeter! It also acts as a natural fungicide to prevent powdery mildew.
