Sustainable Scraps
Some foods, such as celery, can be regrown from the produce you would normally toss. Instead of tossing our Celery scraps into our compost, we have decided to regrow our Celery. This is a great family project to do with kids or for anyone's own self sustaining household.
Celery from Scraps:
What you will need:
Celery Stalk CuttingA Cup/or Dish
Water
Sunlight/Plant Light
A method for transplanting the Celery once it is restarted:
- Dirt indoors in a planter or outdoors in your garden.
- Hydroponic planting system
- Aquaponic planting system.
How to:
Once you have finished using your Celery, you will be left with a cut Celery Stalk.
Take the Celery Stalk Cutting and place in a Cup or Dish with water covering the bottom of the Celery and leaving the top exposed to air. Place the Cup or Dish in a window for sunlight or under a Plant light if you have one.
Change the water out with fresh water daily. After about a week or two you should see some growth in roots in the water, and leaves appearing on top.
Once there is regrowth, you can transplant your Celery to Dirt in a planter or outside depending on the season in your area. Celery is a harder plant to grow outside.
We have gone with an indoor small Hydroponic System to replant our Starters.
What we used:
- Organic Clay Pebbles for a Media
- A Net Cup Pot
- A 32 oz Wide Mouth Mason Jar
- A water soluble Fertilizer to feed our Celery.
