Some kitchen scraps are good planting materials! 廚餘回收種植
Before spring, we can start to grow some vegetable seeding indoors. Actually you can use a short cut. Here are some things I do that you might like.
Green Onion and Spinach — leave the root part a bit longer (5-7cm) for planting, stick them into soil, water and grow.
Beet Root — before you peel them, leave the beet top about 1.5-2cm, place the cut part on top of the soil, water and grow. Beet green tastes like spinach.
Sprouting onion, garlic, ginger, yam and potato — just plant them in soil outside when the weather is warm enough.
Rotting strawberry, blue berry, tomato, pepper — fruit is not good for eating, but their seeds are still good for planting.
Yam stems — if you eat the yam leaves, you can save the rough chewy stems for planting, simply plant the stems in the soil, water and grow.
All these examples will save you some growing time compared with growing from seeds. You will harvest a lot faster than you can imagine.
The most important thing is that you will have less kitchen waste. The remaining kitchen scraps can be composted to feed your garden.
I will try some of these tips!
謝謝你,我沒試過甜菜根拿來種也,蔥倒是有,但我都水養,有時會爛掉,現在我想我該土植了。謝謝 !
青蔥,菠菜,芫荽,空心菜,蕃薯藤等都可拿來種,很快就有得吃,比用種子快許多,又保證長,的確不可浪費!
Thank you very much for these interesting tips!
You are welcome, hope these tips will help!
What good ideas! I also saw your lotus post. Sadly, too exotic for my part of the world.
Thanks! I don’t think lotus is exotic plant anywhere in the world, some garden tried in Russia and no problem of growing.
You are so right!
We do it all the time here, even with wasabi (but only get small tasty leaves)!
Well done!
Best regards,

You are so right. Growing from seeds is truly a slow process.
It is. Sometime we forgot how strong and vital plants are!

Waste not, grow more
This was such a great find I wanted to share. Cheers! Happy cooking, planting & eating. Excited to try this with my green onions!! #soulfulindulgence
I’ve tried this with the bottom of celery after cutting off the stalks that I used for cooking. It actually grew for awhile until I transplanted it into my garden last year and heavy rains drowned the poor thing. Your post has inspired me to try it again.
Thank you for visiting my blog, I am glad you like the idea!

I’ve never heard of this, like taking cuttings with waste from the kitchen…
Yes, there are some people knowing this but not too many people grow them. It is really time saving–compare with growing from seeds and my favrorit part of doing this is able to harvest soon!
