You can grow SO MUCH from food you have already eaten. Take the end of a sweet potato and stick it in water. Bam more sweet potatoes. The end of green onions with the roots? Shove it in dirt bam more green onions. Same with regular onions and avocado seeds and most fruits. It is easier to recycle food into brand new food than most people realize.
