What Happens When You REGROW Vegetables From Kitchen SCRAPS in the Garden?

In this video, I show you what happens when you regrow vegetables from kitchen scraps in the garden. I plant out scrap onion, lettuce, potato, celery, cabbage, tomato, and carrots and we see how they grow over 3 months.

Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland Australia about 45kms north of Brisbane - the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online so come along with me and let's get into it! Cheers, Mark :)

10 years ago I took one bulb of garlic, with about a dozen cloves, and planted it. By the 2 year mark, I had more garlic than anyone would need in a lifetime. It still grows to this day.

"its not just the money, its the health, the regrowth, the less waste, its the rejuvenation..."

This is exactly why my family has been forgoing grocery shopping for seed shopping more and more these days. Its hard to put into words how rewarding working with the land and time to help make something wonderful grow.

I remember being so depressed and anxious when the pandemic started. Also, lots of personal problems were just snowballing. I started watching this man's videos thank God, and they just brought a smile to my face. He is just heart-warming.

Hi Mark, wanted to let you know that I actually cut the celery leaves off and air dry them on cookie sheet. Then crunch them up, put in jar and add to soups, stews, and chowders. The celery flavor from the dried leaves is very concentrated and strong but it's my secret ingredient when someone tries to guess the ingredients in my cooking. Love your videos. Take care

My grandmother told me how the minute WWII was declared in England, the following week my grandfather turned all his flower beds into a vegetable garden, then as the war went on, the small amount of lawn got turned as well. In these Covid times, we may as well busy ourselves, be organic and have some produce to show for it. Good on you, love and appreciate your easy down to earth manner 👍👍😁

Just out of curiosity I started planting odd food scraps here and there rather than throw everything in the compost. Leeks blew my mind; they're freaking huge. I didn't think any of the carrots or radishes did much, but apparently they seeded the whole immediate area and now I even have a carrot growing up through a crack in the sidewalk. >.< These things are growing better than the plants I deliberately started!
I'm a terrible gardener for the same reason I'm terrible at a lot of things, moody procrastination. Working on it, though. Getting better each year. :)

Finally! A gardening channel that helps people start from zero and you dig with your bare hands, I just I love it! You got me, I'm hooked.

It's 4 am, perfect time to improve my gardening skills.

I tossed an old rotting onion in the garden, realized it was sprouting and covered it more. Ended up with two massive onions as big as a large hand. Enough for a French onion soup.

This was absolutely fascinating! It needs to be shown in schools, as fundamental learning !! Thank you, you make it fun.

I live in Hawaii and fruits and vegetables are just so expensive these days. I had bought containers and soil so I could start planting my own garden and I wanted some tips and tricks on how to start my garden and you’ve given me some good ideas. Love your teaching techniques.

This COVID 19 pandemic just made me remember that I can be out of a job anytime and that knowing how to farm is important and is the way to go to be self sufficient.

As someone not particularly green fingered, it really helps to watch someone so proficient pondering what occurred, why, and how to move onward.
All I have see before are people getting it right all the time and it really puts me off because I know I am not anything like that!
Your enthusiasm, humour and willingness to show it all, as it is, is awesome and genuinely inspiring.

When you plant a slice of tomato, make sure it has seeds in it! I planted a slice out of the middle of a tomato - it grew about 6 plants!

I have put carrot tops in a shallow dish of water for years just to enjoy the lovely greenery in the windowsill area during the cold dark winter months. Twice now a carrot has actually shot up and given me a lovely flower!! Just from a half inch of rotting root!! What a gift.

Love regrowing! This year I harvested seeds from these scraps I regrew: carrots, celery, onion, scallion and Bok choy. Congratulations to one million!

It’s actually nice to see you not successful with some of the plants, because it shows that things don’t always work out even for a seasoned gardener. I have struggled with thinking I just suck at gardening because my plants died in the past. It’s good to know that it’s not necessarily the case.

My husband passed away May 25 2019 . I’m trying to figure out how to grow food for myself.
Thank you so much for sharing everything. I’m learning so much .

I just planted 3 celery bases and my friend, a lettuce base. I remarked yesterday, "Hmm...wouldn't it be a great video to demonstrate what you could grow from Kitchen Scraps?" and here, today, I see this episode! Great job!!! and I'm really looking forward to my Scrap Garden! Thank you for all you do. You're really an inspiration!
