Ottomanson Garden Grass Green Indoor/Outdoor Area Rug & Reviews | Wayfair. The finest wheatgrass/catgrass seeds in the known universe available only from Todd's Seeds! We TRIPLE CLEAN our seeds to make sure that the bag of seed you order is full of, well, SEED, and not a bunch of weed material or other junk. PURE SEED! Our germination rates for our wheatgrass are also the highest in the industry. Growing wheatgrass is simple and fun. You can start growing it indoors even without a lot of space. All you need is a good soil mix, water, and a misting bottle. When you have finished watering your wheatgrass, make sure to mist the soil. When you walk by your crop during the day, just grab the bottle and give it all a spritz. Easy. The first step in growing wheatgrass is preparing the soil. You can for sure use some super nice pre-moistened organic soil, but the soil isn't the secret. The secret is the seed. Todd himself is happy to go into his back yard and shovel regular dir into a tray and sprout wheatgrass. Place the seeds in a well-drained container and gently press the soil. Make sure that each seed receives a little water. Don't crowd the area. Once you've completed this, place your tray in an area of your home with at least five hours of direct sunlight. If you do not get a lot of sunlight, don't worry; if you don't have the direct sunlight, you can use artificial grow lights instead. Again, Todd says he doesn't use any type of lights at all, and where his trays are located get no sun, and his crops are always booming! Wheatgrass can also be grown for a cat treat. This is very similar in function to the original purpose of the wheatgrass plant as a cat food additive. It's not a substitute for the fresh greens your cat eats. You can add a pinch of wheatgrass pulp to the water your cat eats and drink, but it's much easier to grow wheat grass for your cat. It acts a lot like a probiotic smoothing stomach problems for you kitty, and pretty much eliminating them coughing up those fur balls. Plus, THEY LOVE IT! Plant it in a nice little pot just for them and set it out where they can get to it. It's fun to watch them come up, take a look and start chewing. Wheatgrass can be grown for cats in an apartment or on a balcony. You can best plant the seeds in a glass container or bowl that is filled with clean filtered water. The main danger to your wheatgrass plants is mold, so you must protect them from it. You can use baking soda to protect your seeds from mold. It is important to apply it again every time the water temperature changes. This will ensure that your cat gets the most nutrients. As an optional step, let the wheatgrass seeds soak overnight. To grow wheatgrass, you can use a special medium or soilless media. Your seeds will then sprout the next day. You can then harvest the wheatgrass and enjoy it! To avoid contamination, make sure to water your seeds well every day. It's best to cover seeds if you plant them on a non-soil surface. Wheatgrass can be grown, even if you don't own a garden or have no soil. It will take longer for the wheatgrass to germinate. After three days, you'll have wheatgrass to eat. And if you don't like the taste of wheatgrass, you can juice it in the morning. One of the best sprouting devices in the world is the Easy Sprout Sprouter. Add the wheatgrass (or any other sprouting seed or microgreen seed) to your cart, and then CLICK HERE to see the Easy Sprout Sprouter.

Nibbling on grass is a natural behavior for all cats. If you have an outdoor cat, chances are it’s part of your kitty’s daily routine. But if your pet spends all of its time indoors (like most domestic cats), you may want to consider growing cat grass in your home.
Why Do Cats Eat Grass?
“Research has not yet shown why cats eat grass, but we have several ideas,” said Carlo Siracusa, animal behaviorist of University of Pennsylvania School of Veterinary Medicine. “In the wild, cats eat grass after they have eaten their prey. In many cases, the grass causes the cat to vomit. We believe this is nature’s way of helping the cat expel the parts of their prey that are indigestible.”
Even if your indoor cat has never caught a mouse or bird, she will instinctively be attracted to cat grass. Why? “It’s a behavioral instinct,” Siracusa says. “Grass is also a form of fiber that helps cats either throw up hairballs or digest them by acting as a laxative.”
Another theory is that cats may eat grass for some trace minerals and the vitamins A and D. Grass also contains chlorophyll, which, before the discovery of antibiotics, was a remedy for pain, infection, ulcers, skin diseases and anemia. Grass also contains folic acid, which helps with the production of hemoglobin, the protein that moves oxygen into the blood to help kitty’s circulation. Plus, there’s the benefit of breath cleansing chlorophyll.
What is Cat Grass?
Not to be confused with catnip, which is a member of the mint family, cat grass is typically grown from rye, barley, oat or wheat seeds. You will find a variety of kitty grass kits at your local pet store, which contain everything you need, including seeds, soil and a potting container. All you’ll need to provide is water and sunlight, and within one week, your cat will have her very own organic garden for safe, healthy nibbling.
“Cat grass is safer than outdoor grass which may have been chemically treated with pesticides,” Siracusa said. “It also gives your cat a healthy alternative to nibbling on houseplants and flowers, many of which are toxic to cats.”
Talk to your veterinarian before you bring any flowers or plants, including cat grass kits, into your home.
Is Cat Grass Safe?
Cat grass is a safe alternative to outdoor grass, which can be treated with weed killers or other pesticides, and to certain houseplants, which can be toxic. It provides your cat with an opportunity to engage in a natural behavior. For outdoor cats, an indoor garden provides a healthy alternative to nibbling on the neighbors’ possibly pesticide-laced lawn. For indoor cats, it offers a delicious taste of the outdoors.
How to Grow Cat Grass
Your cat grass kit will likely come with easy-to-follow directions, but here are some basic tips for caring for and growing cat grass:
Before sprouting, seeds should be kept damp but never soaked. Once sprouts appear, use less water.
Allow three to seven days for seeds to sprout.
The grass will be ready for your cat to eat in 10 to 14 days after sprouting, or once it has reached a height of four inches, and will last one to three weeks.
Continue to keep it in natural light and water daily with a spray bottle.
Do not over water, as this causes mold.
Allow your cat to eat directly from the container.
When the grass starts to wilt or turn color, plant a new container.
