Four veggies you can grow from scraps

If you’re looking for ways to reduce your waste in the kitchen, look no further than your own veggie scraps.

We spoke to Mel Cooper from Sustainable Education Australia as part of our Northern Beaches’ War on Waste who shared her favourite vegetables to grow from the scraps you would normally throw straight into the compost.

Mel says, “Growing tasty, healthy produce from clean kitchen scraps isn't garbage gardening. It can teach valuable lessons about nature and sustainability. From celery and onions to beets and ginger root, scraps often have plenty of life left.”

“By preparing and caring for these plants, the whole family can learn how plants grow and what they need to prosper.”
