Don't throw out your kitchen scraps--grow them! With clear illustrations and step-by-step instructions, this innovative guide shows you how to cultivate common shoots, seeds, pits, roots, and tubers that might otherwise end up in the compost bin.

Why throw away your food scraps when you could grow them into thriving plants? From carrots to caraway seeds and avocados to almonds, have fun transforming fruits, nuts, herbs, spices, and more into houseplants. Dozens of foods have pits, seeds, and roots waiting to be rescued from the compost bin and brought back to life on your windowsill. Planted and nurtured, the shiny pomegranate seeds left over from breakfast and the piece of neglected gingerroot in your refrigerator will grow into healthy, vigorous houseplants.

With these kitchen experiments, you'll be amazed at the gardening possibilities hidden in the foods you eat.
