No-Waste Kitchen Gardening is a fun and colourful 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 instructions 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 bit 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
  • Avocados
  • 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.
