There's a car that runs on organic waste, if you want I can give you the TH-cam channel and other media about the guy, he also shares a do it yourself PDF file
@@Trustee-of-The-Most-High can you share it here?
@@That1Chick his name is Edmundo Ramos and lives in Córdoba, Argentina.
You can google him or look for auto basura/trash car
@@That1Chick i made a video about it
@@Trustee-of-The-Most-High I’ll check it out thanks so much
A note on carrots (and possibly other bienials): a replanted carrot should go to seed on year one and give you a jumpstart on your seed library.
Yes parsnips did that for me just like the carrots did...I missed a few from fall harvest and they regrew the following spring becoming very tall with umbrella like seed pompoms 😆 thousands upon thousands of seeds from a few forgotten rogue carrots and parsnips 😂
Yes. There are so many of these. Most are nonsense.
I just compost the lot. I only have a small patio but concocted a Heath Robinson compost bin in one corner Re lettuce. Fun fact. the supermarket profits from lettuce sales skyrocketed (8% sticks in my mind for some reason) after the introduction of cut and bagged lettuce leaves. But the amount of lettuce grown remained the same. Bags of cut up leaves look like a lot of lettuce but a whole lettuce, stored in a bowl of water is cheaper for more actual lettuce. I have stored lettuce in a bowl of water, as did my mother's generation, but never ever has one started growing any shoots. I cant see the point in most of these. Dont you have compost bins in the US? I mean in the street alongside other recycle bins.
@helenamcginty4920 I can't speak to lettuce or your experience with such. However, the stub ends of root vegetables such as carrots and onions contain months of stored energy relative to planting seeds and can quickly provide sustenance relative to seed if supply chains were to fail.
That, of course, was the main point of my comment. Biennials only produce seed on the second season, thus it may be a long, hungry time between plantings if there is no supply (as in the great covy farce of 2020).
Many areas in the US have bins for trash, recyclables, and yard waste/compost, individually. Not sure how that question is pertinent.
4:46 someone threw out a garlic clove into the woods in our yard and there is now an ever-expanding circle of baby garlic plants that has persisted for several years. They thrive on utter neglect. I can’t believe neither the savage 110F droughty summers or the sudden February deep freezes have killed them, when even some native species are dying.
I would harvest a couple and raise that cultivar. Those offspring are now perfectly adapted to your climate and conditions!
Are you sure that's actual garlic and not ramps?
@@annbromley4808 I’ve been doing that. They end up here and there in my large non-succulent pots. Probably ought to transplant more widely, but I’ll certainly utilize them when I get raised beds put in
@@roughroadstudio it’s garlic. Definitely not one of the three species colloquially known as “Ramps.” There are also a few surviving bed-planted garlics that are identical
I threw rotten garlic in by garden not sow. Few weeks later I had about 30 garlic. I end up pulling out I need the space for my plants
I just got alot of free veggies and started this! carrots, celery, garilc lettuce,cabbage, ginger, planted some bell pepper, avocado, mango, apple seeds that were sprouted inside and some sprouted russets. Instant garden in a day. Wish me luck!
Good luck, if you use a copper wire and wrap ir around the plant then attach that wire to a copper rod thats attached to the ground it will grow faster and bigger
If you leave one carrot planted the next season the top grows lovely flowers that attract good bugs and when the flowers turn brown you collect them for lots of seeds
Water crest and lemon grass can also be grow from the store. Bonus is many dried beans and lentils.
I have been growing ginger on the window sill for over a year now. It hasn’t flowered but boy does it put out root! I also have carrot tips putting out green now on the counter over the kitchen sink. Today I gathered wild onions, garlic mustard, and cleavers together with some wild mustard green flower pods. Altogether, these will be going into tonight’s Spring pasta.
What is a cleaver?
I’d love some leftovers, what time is dinner?😁😉
* Lettuce
* Celery
* Green onions
* Carrots, carrot tops
* Garlic
* Sweet potatos
* Ginger
* Turmeric
* Herbs, parsley, basil, cilantro, rosemary, sage
* Leeks
My replanted celery always comes back smaller, but concentrated celery taste! Perfect for cooking!
I'm doing something wrong on celery. I get growth at first, but it doesn't make it after being repotted.
@@muwgrad1987 - Hmmm! Maybe needs more watering? 🤔
@@ShortbusMooner thanks and will give that a try. The green onion tip works great. I'm all about free plants. 🙂
@@muwgrad1987 Celery is a marsh vegetable
Absolutely loving these garden videos! 🫶🏽
I’ve been growing green onions like this for years and it really is cheap and easy.
I've got small lettuces right now. Grown indoors too.😊
I always have a jar of green onion growing on my kitchen seal, and a shallow pan of carrots tops ... I grow my lettuce in a pot in the greenhouse until the heat of summer when I bring it into the house to finish off - I love fresh greens 😋
SWEET!!
Greetings from THE NETHERLANDS!
I have some green onions that have been grown and regrown multiple times! They fit right into my garden, too -- small plants.
I'm already preparing for winter 2024.
I have done this many times and also have been able to grow ginger and turmeric last year was my best harvest of ginger. I’m to late this year but you can grow it indoors
Hi Kris- absolutely brilliant video! Have started many edible plants from scraps- also, the compost pile is a veritable plant store! ☮️&🌱
thanks kris i started doing this about 6 months ago and found if your appartment alows it and has windwo sills you can grow a decent amount of reuseable food this way
I loved this practical video!!
I've done several of these and taught others, as well. Especially good for small space gardeners or those physically unable to garden.
Definitely let a few carrots go to seed. They will get very tall and have a lacy but large flower head. Pretty and you get a ton of seeds! You can let lettuce also flower and go to seed. They also get quite tall but their flowers are often small and yellow similar to a dandelion and they pack a lot of seeds.
Great topic, Kris!
A better method to get healthy slips is to place them on the side about half way in soil. They will actually form good roots right away.
I do this every year and I get massive amounts of slips
OMG Kris Thank for this. I completely forgot about doing this with the other veggies. And was un aware of the Lettuce one.
Loved this video. I am absolutely going to try some of these. Thanks so much.
Both informative and enjoyable to watch. Good job 👍
I’ve got both turmeric and ginger growing. I planted rhizome chunks with small buds showing on them under about 2” of soil. I kept the pots near the wood stove to keep the soil warm. The ginger is now 3 feet tall, and the turmeric that just recently sprouted is about 3 inches high. Both came from the organic section of our local food cooperative.
Excellent video! It has inspired me.
Yes indeed, this is a wonderful, productive and cool (and delicious) beyond measure means of having a (somewhat) reliable means of having fresh vegs and herbs around, especially in a SHTF scenario! I started out quite by accident with celery, and discovered how easy it was to raise green and yellow onions. Didn't know about spuds and garlic until just now. Well done and very practical, useful tips dude!
Over the years I've grown potatoes, carrots, tomatoes, beans, brussel sprouts, onions and on and on, but the biggest inhibitor beside my bullhound deciding to jump into the garden and dig are the critters in my area: squirrels, rabbits, and chipmunks mainly. I've learned not to worry so much if I have dispatch a few with the help of my pup.
one thing to keep in mind with outdoor gardens is that nature is unforgiving at times, and if you don't chicken wire your veg then it will be gone in a blink of an eye.
? I have not had thia problem.
great video, thank you
I've only been able to get sweet potatoes to using the slips. The leave that come off the sprouted potato.
Ginger. Takes 9 months.
Great video
That sure would be convenient to do. I have to put garden beds or pots around select areas of my yard. That happens when you're house is surrounded by trees.
I bought a tiny basil seedling and trimmed it to make it bushy. Stuck the trimmed off pieces in water, they rooted. I now have dozens of basil plants.
Always been fascinated by this regrowth process 👍
Great helpful video. Thank you Kris.
Great information. Thanks for sharing this.
I’ve done green onions too, but I cut them way smaller than that. I cut them down to about 1/2” inch. Tip. Add an fish tank air stone to the water. It will intrude oxygen into the water and you wouldn’t have to change the water as much.
I bought green onions from the store onky once, i never had to buy again. I eat off of my garden all year round for 3 years now lol. I threw Bok Choy in the ground just to see if it grow so yes, i harvest 6 times. Asian Bok Choy( mini variety) regrow super fast every 2 weeks i harvest for stir-fry or sautéed 😂
Thank you for the educational videos.
Regrowing green onions from scrap is something I recommend all the time. I've been able to overwinter them as well, with some going as long as 3 seasons (zone 5B). Definitely a good way to stretch your food budget!
This was just what I needed. Thanks.
This is something I have been thinking about recently, thank you for the video!
Thanks!
Just put a handful of green onions and one bok-choi bottom in water. TWO DAYS later they are growing like crazy. I change the water every day and I am amazed. No more buying green onions, but we'll see how the bok-choi does.
I'm running cabbages over my sink. Not as fast as lettuce, but handy.
Add a couple fresh bits of willow tips to the water. The greener, the better. They contain a rooting hormone and it can be extracted like a tea, in warm not hot water for 12-24 hours, and rationed out to the scraps.
Thank you for the valuable information!
Green onions need only to be trimmed to about a 3" length and put into soil. There is absolutely no need to put them in a glass of water.
I just stick the whole bunch of green onions in a glass and cut the tops using them as fresh "chives"
Thank you!
Your voice sounded rough, I hope you are feeling ok. Great video! I didn't know about the lettuce one.
In another video he said he was getting over a cold
This is cool. Don't have to extract seeds. Some more experiments to try. One is whether growth could be improved with a hydroponic solution (e.g. Masterblend). The other is some kind of "set it, and forget it" system, like what Mike Vanduzee has been suggesting (Keep On Growin' YT channel).
It took my turmeric a longer time to get growing, but why did better than huge ginger in the long run!
Thankyou, great tips and info.❤❤❤❤
I've tried growing several things from scraps, never did have any luck with it.
Great video! What about potatoes? (As was shown in the movie The Martian!)
I think we did a video on that before, but yeh, that's an excellent one.
Garlic cloves should be separated before trying to root or plant. They are easy. Plant them in October and mulch with leaves in winter cold climates. They need to be frozen.
You can stratify for 1 or 2 months using a freezer and get them started early.
I've had great luck growing ginger in small pots... to a point, because they always die somewhere around the 7-8 inch size. Trying to figure out where I went wrong...
This was an Awesome video
Great tips !!
I've been regrowing green onions for years and they are very simple to maintain, need to try these other vegetables!
Awsome thank you
Excellent info
Great info thanks ❤🎉
Neat experiment: I left the stump of my cabbages and broccoli and they regrew heads of cabbage and broccoli.
I grow leek, spring onion and celery from their roots with great success, but I do not put them in water. They go directly in the soil.
Was that multiple small heads or full size heads?
@@user-xn4iw9rf1z With the cabbage it was medium to large main head with smaller ones on the sides. The broccoli was a purple sprouting variety and it grew back the same as the first time, only with a much thicker stem.
Thanks
Great video mate. I did have knowledge of this. However a a great deal of people don’t Tops
Yes 🙌🏾 I did some celery. It works
Got ginger to sprout after 3 months in window in soil
It's hard to get ginger to produce more ginger here in the states. The climates are not right.
We literally were going to start looking into this today to. Thank you!
I’m definitely going to try this. I usually compost those parts of vegetables.
Good video, thanks for sharing YAH bless !
So far got lots of potatoes sweet potatoes and other stuff started from kitchen scraps. One thing i do is plant the cores of onions using the inner 1/4th of them to grow green onions and onion seeds.
Better to put them all in the same container to share fresh water. This is so much easier to water and keep clean.
You do sound sick my friend.
Thank you for putting this out regardless.
Get well❤❤.
Green shoots!
Good morning Kris! Great content and clearly you have a cat-free house 😂😊 Thank you for another helpful video!
Can you use a grow light ?
These plants grow from scraps of themselves, meanwhile my mushrooms won't grow if I so much as breathe on them.
Use Rain Water
A couple of reasons why this wouldn't work for me, the place where I live doesn't have Windows in the kitchen. Alll windows don't get direct sun. It's just simply easier for the sake of time to just buy fresh produce.
💙
Shoot. There is a Hip Roof on my house, and there’s only one window in my house that the sun shines through, and it’s only for about 3 to maybe 4 hours in the afternoon.
You make get aphids, fungus gnats or spider mites indoors. Don’t be discouraged if you do.
I bet you grow weed..
@@tommyagain38 no, I do not. I grow greens, herbs, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, peppers indoors in the winter.
Thank you,
Greetings from Louisiana
So I guess we're just not going to talk about the BBC at 7:00 ???
Good info but leaving the water running behind you is not a good habit. Use water, but don’t waste it, please.
You sound a little ill, hope you feel better.
You don’t need organic sweet potatoes. Conventional ones sprout in my pantry whether I want them to or not. Same with white potatoes. I’ve seen zero difference in growing from organic varieties conventional.
Dude you forgot asparagus!

I hope you repost his video once in a while
Do yourself a favor and compost all your scrap make a bed. Buy some seed and grow quality fruit and veg.
So much chemicals
You don't sound like you..🤔
In another video he said he was getting over a cold.
U stole thisvideo...
When I illegally grew marijuana in the 90's there was this cloning powder you could buy that when you take the cutting, you dip the end of it in the powder & it quickens the rooting process a LOT.
Once jar of it will last 10 lifetimes.
I cloned hundreds of plants with & without that powder.
You'll save a LOT of time using that rooting powder! You just use it once after cutting the plant & it prompts the plant to IMMEDIATELY start rooting.
You will have a definite higher survival rate doing it this way. In fact, I experimented a LOT with cloning & if I used cloning powder, I would have 100% success rate no matter how bad of a job I did with giving the clone nutrients to grow.
How long will the lettuce produce new leaves, if i keep it in water? 🥬 I just started my new lettuce head and it’s sprouting! I feel so accomplished now. 😂
