5. Use Scraps to Grow Lettuce
Required Materials: Lettuce stems
* Cost to Make: $1–$2 per stalk* Lettuce is really simple to grow in addition to being a nutritious and delicious salad ingredient. Simply use the stems to re-grow lettuce if you don’t want to spend a few dollars on it from the shop. Cut the leaves of your store-bought lettuce an inch from the bottom before eating.
Grow lettuce from scraps on Pinterest or @diythrill.
After that, put the stems that are still there in a dish of shallow water. It should be about half an inch deep in the water. If you don’t have a window accessible, then put the stems under grow lights. Observe the lettuce as it grows, changing the water every two to three days. Continue doing this until you have consistently flavored lettuce.
