Contents of No-Waste Kitchen Gardening: Regrow Your Leftover Greens, Stalks, Seeds, and More Introduction: How to Use This Book No-Waste Kitchen Gardening opens with a chapter on the basic science and practice of regrowing kitchen scraps. Here, you’ll learn to understand plant parts, the growing cycle of edible herbs, vegetables, and fruits, and how to make use of this cycle when regrowing kitchen leftovers. Then you’ll get to the good stuff: a series of chapters detailing how to regrow edibles according to different forms of propagation— from rooting vegetables in water to collecting seeds and planting them to produce your own seedlings for garden transplant. Your kitchen will never be the same. No-waste kitchen gardening is calling you. Let’s get started, shall we? 1. No-Waste Kitchen Gardening: How It Works and How to Do It Plants are pretty incredible living things. e tiniest of seeds contains everything needed to grow tall oak trees and long squash vines. You can cut pieces off of some plants, stick the pieces in water, and watch them grow roots. Some plants grow, flower, produce seeds, and then die back, only to emerge again the following year from their roots. Some of these perennial plants may last for many decades; other short-lived annuals live their lives in a flash, barely lasting a single growing season before fading and wilting. 2. Regrow Roots and Underground Stems in Soil You know those old potatoes sprouting at the bottom of the kitchen drawer? You don’t have to throw them on the compost pile. You can actually cut them up and grow an entire new harvest of potatoes. How about those slightly shriveled carrots in the drawer with the potatoes—did you know you can regrow those too? You won’t get another carrot, but you will get some leafy tops that are great additions to soups and salads. Plus, it is really fun to watch the carrot tops grow.

Regrow Stems and Modified Stems in Soil When you grow up with green onions and leeks, don’t throw the ends out! You can regrow them. They’re stems, and they’re some of the easiest plants to regrow. Regrowing stems makes sense because when you do, you are starting with everything you need to keep a plant going. You don’t have to guess at whether the stem will grow. You just have to put the stem in an environment where it will thrive. 4. Grow Seeds in Soil and Water Growing seeds is the most natural of gardening activities, but not necessarily what you might think about when regrowing kitchen scraps. You can save the seeds from kitchen scraps, though, and grow them into either a fruitful harvest or an interesting curiosity. There’s one type of seed you’ll grow primarily in water, or grow in water to get started—the avocado. Everything else you’ll grow in soil. 5. Regrow Whole Plants and Stems in Water Want to extend the life of that head of romaine lettuce you bought for dinner? Regrow it! You can reroot some types of plants in water just like you can reroot them in soil. Some plants root equally well both ways, while others prefer one of the two methods One advantage to rerooting in water is that it’s easy to check the progress of the roots, either by simply pulling them out of the container for inspection or by using clear glass or plastic containers where the roots are visible. Regrowing in water is less messy than regrowing in soil too.
