Reducing Post Harvest Spoilage
I am losing a significant amount of tomatoes due to spoilage in storage. They tend to be cherry sized although there are a few larger and come from cracked skin, splits of some other deficiency not noted until mold or decay occurs.
I have several containers with holes in the bottom - crisper type - that at least ensure any liquid runs off and limits the damage to the dozens of other tomatoes in the container. I live in a humid location and warm. Any tips from folks on how they store fresh tomatoes to minimize this issue?
Right now I make making compost from tomatoes at too high a rate.
