Growing Food in Trash: Mushrooms, Microgreens & Worm Farms

Food prices keep climbing, but growing food doesn’t have to mean raised beds and acres of land. Sometimes, the best food grows right out of the trash.

  • Mushrooms in Coffee Grounds: Used coffee grounds are gold for growing oyster mushrooms.
  • Microgreens in Takeout Containers: A handful of seeds, a little soil, and you’ve got nutrient-packed greens in days.
  • Worm Farms: Feed them scraps, get rich compost for your garden, and sell worms as fishing bait.

It’s cheap, it’s unconventional, and it turns waste into food and money.
