Cat Grass Kit with Rustic Wood Planter, Seed and Soil. Easy to Grow for Indoor or Outdoor Cats, Dogs and Other Pets. Prevent Hairballs and Aid Digestion

Very easy to use! Grass grew easily and as expected and I have a "grey thumb" (not a green thumb but i don't kill everything lol) Soil plumped up much more than I expected I was amazed. I wish i could find this for my regular house plants. Haha. So far my cats aren't as excited as I imagined but this product is good enough that I am willing to refill and keep trying. Planter is well made so much so that even if your cats don't the like the grass and you decide not purchase more. The planter could be used for some small indoor house plants so no risk purchase! ***The ONLY thing that would make this product EVEN better. Is if they sold the clear inserts rectangle planter inserts for the wooden rectangle planter. Either on their own or in one of their refill sets. Currently I can only find the refill sets with what appears to be the smaller square liners. Would love to have some seeds germinating while cats are munching on existing grass. Also , another reason to have replacement rectangle insterts. I can see where eventually the plastic insert/liner would need to be replaced as it is ONLY a planter liner. It is not thick long lasting plastic and is not expected to last as long as wooden planter will. You would need a liner before needing a new wooden planter. (No fault of product just part of normal use.)

So easy to follow directions. I wrapped top with clear wrap for two days and moved it as instructed. Our cat LOVES it!

My cats love all things plant-related and I got tired of my plant leaves looking like they were put in the garbage disposal from their chewing, so I ordered cat grass to give them something else (& safe) to chew. This kit is mostly great. I wasn't convinced that the little pucks would actually expand to the amount of soil needed, but holy cow those things expand! As far as I can tell, the seeds all sprouted and my cats went to town. Unfortunately, those of us with plants know how important drainage is when it comes to planters. The plastic lining for this doesn't have drain holes and the soil actually began growing mold. When I replanted, I just punches a few small holes in the bottom and now I take the plastic piece out to water it & allow it to drain. That seemed to solve any issues and I'll keep buying my seeds from this company & using the original planter!

This grew perfectly and fast. I see a lot of other users complaining about the seeds not growing, but in my experience it has to do with how much they water them and how much sun they get. This also does not need the planter to have the soil half way up as that would be too much soil for this. You need very little water to start and your soil should not be sloshy and wet but moist. I would recommend that you cover the planter when first seeded with plastic wrap to create a greenhouse effect. These sprouted in less than 3 days and they continue to grow indoors with reflected partial sunlight

Worth noting, I’m kinda bad at knowing when the soil is dry enough for me to water it next. I tried my best though. First batch, my cat loved it, but from my sister’s advice I was trying really hard not to over water it because she had a mold problem. I guess I waited too long thinking the soil should be drier because the grass died. My cat was still interested for a bit but I eventually got a refill kit Second batch, I made sure to water it more frequently than the first time. Still trying not to over water it, but I guess I did, not enough for visible mold, but enough for gnats… I live in a pretty small 1 bedroom apartment, which means these gnats would venture from the grass and bother me everywhere. Took me some time to figure out they were coming from the grass. While my cat seems to like hunting the gnats (he doesn’t kill them, just squeaks and bats his paws at them haha) they drive me a little bit crazy. I’m about to throw the whole thing out, it’s too infested. Three stars, because my cat does love the grass. He’d chew it, lay next to it, that sort of thing. Planting it was easy and it sprouted quickly. That, and I’m just not a plant guy, I figured cat grass would be simple enough but maybe I’m just too incompetent with taking care of plants to manage even this. I’ve seen some cat grass kits by other brands that don’t use soil, and I might consider trying something like that if it’s the soil that’s the problem, but I don’t think I have the skill to maintain this without causing problems. I did really enjoy it while it lasted, my cat got a huge kick out of it and that made me smile. I just can’t seem to find the right balance to maintain it without issue.

I expanded the soil and planted the seeds today, and the cats loved every step of the process. The wood smells amazing and aromatic, the soil is good quality, and the whole process was simple as could be. I buy grass for my girls usually monthly, or sometimes every couple of weeks and they love it, so within a couple months this planter will pay for itself and save me money. Very happy with this purchase!
