Four Grass Mix

ANNUAL CEREAL GRASSES

Oat, rye, wheat, barley.
Organically grown.

FOR BEST RESULTS

Fill a 6 inch diameter or larger, pot with moistened planting mix. Sprinkle seeds 1/4 inch apart over the surface, cover 1/2 inch deep with mix, and water gently. Keep pot moist but not soggy, and be sure to provide a good light source. The pot of grasses can be kept indoors for pets to graze on at their leisure. Fertilize every 2 weeks using a non-chemical fertilizer, such as fish emulsion.

DINING IDEAS

Most cats will recognize the grass as a treat right away. To encourage finicky eaters, place the pot beside the kitty’s food and spritz it with water. This usually does the trick.

GROWING NOTES

Our ample packet provides enough seed for 3 to 4 sowings. The grasses are ready for pets to nibble when the blades are at least a few inches tall, normally in about 10-14 days after sowing. If grasses get too tall and fall over, “mow” them down to 2 inches with a pair of scissors.

For a constant supply, try sowing one pot, then another pot a week later. Give your pet access to only one pot of grass at a time, and switch pots each week. When grass does not re-grow vigorously after cutting down and fertilizing, discard and start again with new seed and soil mix.
