How to find food everywhere: How to Grow a Lifetime of Food from Your Kitchen Scraps and so much more
from Earth Tribe Radio · host Dena Barsking, Fiona Whitmore
Is the rising cost of groceries keeping you up at night? It’s time to stop being a consumer and start being a grower—even if you only have a tiny patio. This week, we’re joined by Dena, who is reclaiming her food independence by growing entire harvests from the "scraps" most people throw away. We’re breaking down the Grocery Rebellion, teaching you how to turn a single tomato slice, a scallion nub, or a dollar-store find into a literal feast. We’ll cover the "Why" behind using organic produce for regrowing, the magic of companion planting, and how to use banana peels as a natural shield against pests. In this episode, we explore: The Patio Revolution: How Dena grows "plenty" in a small space and tips for reclaiming vacant lots in your town. The Science of "Second Growth": Why hybrids often fail and how to pick the right veggies to regrow. Abundance from Crisis: The moving story of a community dinner that turned a suspected tragedy into a massive gift for the homeless. Frugal Alchemy: Making "Kitchen Sink Soup" from less-than-perfect veggies and finding hidden resources at food banks and dollar stores. Growing the Next Generation: Why kids who help plant the garden are more likely to eat their greens. Feeding your family healthy food shouldn't be a luxury. Join us as we think outside the box, lose the stigma of seeking help, and learn to find abundance in the most unexpected places.
