Regrowing Vegetables from Kitchen Scraps (Zero Waste Gardening)

Regrowing Vegetables from Kitchen Scraps (Zero Waste Gardening)

🌸 From Kitchen Waste to Fresh Greens

What if the vegetables you cook today could grow again tomorrow? 🌱
Regrowing veggies from scraps is one of the easiest ways to save money, reduce waste, and enjoy fresh produce—all year long.

At Earth Bloom Garden, we call it “the circle of growth”—a small act that gives big results for you and the planet. 🌍

🌿 Why Regrow Vegetables?

💚 Benefits of Regrowing:

  • Zero waste, zero guilt ♻️

  • Fresh food from your kitchen window

  • Perfect indoor gardening project

  • Great for kids and beginners

It’s a beautiful reminder that nature always gives back.

🌱 1. Green Onions (Scallions)

These are the easiest to regrow—and one of the fastest! 🌿

💧 How to Regrow:

  • Save the white root ends (about 2 inches long).

  • Place in a glass of water on a sunny windowsill.

  • Change water every 2 days.

🌾 In just 5 days, new shoots will appear!

👉 Try our Glass Jar Regrow Kit — includes bamboo lids and water roots stands.

🌸 2. Lettuce or Romaine

Don’t toss that lettuce base—it can sprout again! 🥬

💚 Steps:

  • Cut the bottom 2 inches of the stem.

  • Place in a shallow dish of water (½ inch deep).

  • Mist leaves daily and move to bright light.

  • After 7–10 days, transfer to soil for continued growth.

👉 Our Zero-Waste Lettuce Tray is perfect for hydro regrowth.

🌿 3. Celery

Celery loves to regenerate from its base.
After cutting the stalks, save the root end. 🌱

💧 Regrow Method:

  • Soak in water until small leaves appear.

  • Then plant in soil for full stalks to form.

🌸 Within 2–3 weeks, you’ll see new life forming.

👉 Shop our Eco Regrow Starter Kit for soil-ready containers.

🌱 4. Garlic

Garlic sprouts can be used just like scallions!
They’re mild and flavorful. 🧄

💚 Steps:

  • Place cloves in shallow water or damp soil.

  • Sprouts appear in a few days.

  • Trim and use for seasoning or replant bulbs.

👉 Use our Mini Herb Jar Set for convenient countertop growing.

🌾 5. Basil & Mint

Many herbs regrow beautifully from cuttings. 🌿

💧 How to Propagate:

  • Cut 4–5 inch stems before they flower.

  • Place in water until roots form (about a week).

  • Replant in soil and enjoy endless harvests!

👉 Our Regrow Herb Kit includes organic seeds, soil discs, and bamboo planters.

🌸 Bonus Tip: Light & Water Matter

To succeed, remember:
☀️ Light: 6+ hours of sunlight daily or a small grow light.
💧 Water: Refresh often to prevent mold.
🌿 Patience: Some plants need 10–14 days to root fully.

💡 Track your progress with a small “regrow diary”—you’ll be amazed at the results!
