Grow Bok Choy or Celery from Scraps
If the bok choy in your fridge has some yellowed leaves at the bottom, don't throw it away, because it's ready to grow. First, cut the stems of the vegetable where the stems meet the leaves. Or in other words, 2 inches from the bottom up. Use the good leaves in your cooking.
Take the bottom of the bok choy and put it into a bowl with at least 2cm of water. The part where the leaves used to be should be facing up.
Place the container with the bok choy in direct sunlight and then, simply change the water in the container every day.
After some days roots should appear, and then, you can plant your bok choy in a pot or in the ground. Cover the roots well and water the plant whenever the soil becomes dry.
As the plant grows you can cut leaves from the outside and the plant will continue growing and producing.
Carrot Tops For Salad Greens
Place carrot tops in a bowl with water and put them in a well-lit room. After the green tops grow you can cut them off and use in salad or cooking.
Other vegetables which can be grown from scraps are Cos lettuce and cabbage which can grow roots if the bottom is placed in a bowl of water. After roots appear, plant in a pot or in the ground.
Fertilising with human urine
After you collect your urine add some water, about 5 times as much water as urine. Then simply apply the liquid to the soil around the plant.
