Indoor Vegetable Garden from Scraps

Dont Make Soup, grow vegetables!

Grow an Indoor Vegetable Garden from Leftover Scraps.

I’ve been seeing a lot of people growing celery from the bottom 2″ of the stalk, and was inspired to try it. But I wondered what other vegetables can you root from the original plant. Here’s a quick list of what I’ve found from all around the net.

  1. Celery
  2. Onions – Green and Round
  3. Potatoes – Regular and Sweet
  4. Leeks, Scallions
  5. Carrot Tops
  6. Pineapple
  7. Romaine Lettuce
  8. Cabbage
  9. Avocado
  10. Sprouts – beans, sunflowers, lentils, pumpkin, alfalfa
  11. Ginger
  12. Garlic
  13. Bok Choy
  14. Beets
  15. Turnips
  16. Rutabaga
  17. Lemongrass

Ive personally tried pineapple, but it always seems to rot the minute I stick it in dirt. Heres a video of it actually working, plus quite a few other veggies rooting.

And last but not least… if youre REALLY into this, theres an entire book dedicated to the subject
