Grocery Rebellion: How to Grow a Lifetime of Food from Your Kitchen Scraps and so much more

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.
