Old thread I know.. but I can't imagine throwing garlic scapes on the ground. That's my favorite part of the plant and the whole reason I grow garlic. I can get bulbs anywhere, scapes I can only get a few times a year. I grill them, or throw in food processor and make a garlic scape pesto. Or mix with butter for a nice garlic spread. As for the what they are worth, they sell for about $2 a bunch at my local market. That's maybe 5-10 scapes. Given a whole bulb typically only sells for $1, I would think selling the scapes would boost profit about 25%.
