Re: Cat grass...


Mags, there are no instructions on my packet do I put it into compost or do the seeds just grow in the container?

Re: Cat grass...


With the one I had Fran, you just water it in the container and put it one the window sill to grow (but not in direct sunlight), and make sure you keep it damp.

Ahhh thanks for that Alex, I rather thought you might do that but looking at the piccie of Cassie with hers it looks like the grass is growing out of soil....

Put some compost into your tray or pot, sow the seeds liberally then cover them with 0.5cm (quarter inch) of compost. Firm down gently and keep moist. Seedlings appear after 3 - 5 days. Cut when 2 - 3 inches long to prevent leaves becoming coarse. Keep moist.

Hope that helps Fran

Re: Cat grass...


Right!!

I have been into town today and bought the cat grass seeds. They have been sown this afternoon, so hopefully, in a few days I will have some grass for Oli to try!!

Will let you know what he thinks
