Regrown

Regrown is a beginner’s guide to growing fruit and vegetables from kitchen scraps. With a focus on repurposing produce found in any supermarket, it shows how to regenerate, propagate and give new life to cuttings otherwise bound for the waste bin. Ranging from fruits and herbs that will sprout in a matter of days, to vegetables that will delight in later seasons, this easy-to-follow book includes everything from carrot tops and mushroom stalks to ginger, avocado and even pineapple. Paul and Robin guide budding gardeners through the process of reusing items to grow plants that are every bit as delicious as their first incarnations. What’s more, all you need is a jar and a tapful of water, before letting nature do its thing.
