Sometimes the simplest things are the most interesting and practical ones. In gardening, some small things can be very rewarding. Whether it is to avoid waste, to avoid going to grocery stores or to reuse containers, these ideas are the best.

Here are 10 ideas that you will want to try at home!

  1. Transplanting leftover vegetables

When lettuce, celery, fresh herbs and other plants of this kind are eaten, we just throw them away. Did you know we can use them to grow them back ?

Here's how to do it:

  1. Take the base of your lettuce or another vegetable and drop it in a glass of water.
