Turn kitchen scraps into new edible plants

Katie Elzer-Peters organizes a practical approach to regrowing produce from leftover roots, stalks, seeds, leaves, and cuttings. The book moves from identifying which portion of a vegetable or fruit to save to showing when a regrown plant can be harvested or moved into soil. Two-part photographs support each stage, while additional guidance addresses indoor growing and ongoing plant care. Projects range from quicker options to plants that need more time, with examples including green onions, carrots, potatoes, tomatoes, melons, and avocados. The emphasis stays on making food scraps a starting point for small-scale edible gardening.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Home cooks interested in reducing produce waste
  • Beginning gardeners seeking hands-on indoor growing projects
  • Gardeners curious about propagating edible plants from kitchen leftovers

Book overview

No-Waste Kitchen Gardening is a fun and colorful exploration of the amazing results you can get by re-growing vegetable cutoffs and scraps into harvestable, edible plants.

Stop tossing your carrot stumps, loose cilantro sprigs, lettuce and cabbage stalks, and apple cores in the trash! The expert advice in No-Waste Kitchen Gardening, gives you all the instruction and tricks you'll need to grow and re-propagate produce from food waste. You'll be astonished at how much food waste you can re-grow.

You'll also find some helpful general information about growing indoors and maintaining your re-grown plants. Two-part photo instructions show first what the root, chunk seed, or leaf should look like when you re-plant it, and second, when to harvest or re-plant it in soil to continue growing.

Edibles big and small, quick to grow and those that take a big longer, are included, so you can pick and choose which projects to take on. A few of the many plants profiled include:

  • Green onions
  • Tomatoes
  • Melons
  • Avocadoes
  • Potatoes
  • Carrots

Cut back on your food waste, cultivate your own food easily, and maybe even share gardening with a new generation, all with the advice from No-Waste Kitchen Gardening.
