Tomato powder

Assuming there isn’t any frost in the next 2 weeks.

I’d guess the last basket will be perhaps 5% of the years worth of tomatoes.

The last basket filled up 8 out of the 10 trays in my dehydrator.

I didn’t weigh anything but ended up with:

2015-09-21 22.38.55

Considering that you can buy 1kg of tomato powder for £11 from ebay, it’s not economically sensible to grow, dry and grind them.

At least you know the powder you make isn’t full of lead and pesticides.

Although there could well be issues from the plastic trays in the dehydrator.

Regardless, currently you and everyone of your friends/family are sick of tomatoes.

Might as well dry/powder them for winter/spring instead of feeding them to the chickens 😉
