Editorial Review:
Take home a packet for a cat or a cat-lover you know. Sweet oats are easy to grow indoors, year 'round. Some say oats aid feline digestion and eliminate hairballs. Whether or not that's true, cats do love to nibble tender, sweet oats. So much in fact that oats are sold as "catgrass." Growing is simple. Fill a shallow bowl or saucer with moist potting soil, sprinkle oats over the soil at about 10 seeds per square inch. Lightly press the seed into the soil Then just set the container on a windowsill, and keep it evenly moist not wet or dry. Germination is in about 5 days. Your only problem will be keeping your cats away from the grass.
Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Packet expiration date 3 months from receipt, dead seeds Comment: For the price I bought 10 packets to stock up. Big mistake. They all expire in 3 months! I planted half a packet and hardly any seeds sprouted. A big disappointment and a waste of my money. I would love to exchange the dead seed packets for some that may sprout with a better expiration date. Customer Rating: Summary: My cat and Dog love it!!! Comment: I planted the seeds and in less than a week, there was sprouting. The grass grows tall. My cat and both dogs can't get enough of it. Customer Rating: Summary: Easy to grow Comment: Wow this product was easy to grow. I just filled a shallow container with some soil spread the seeds out on top covered the seeds with a little more soil and watered thoroughly but not enough to make it swampy. and these seeds took off! In just a few days I had 1 inch spoutings everywhere. In a couple more days they were around 4 inches. By the 10th day they were almost fully grown. The cats I grew this for thoroughly enjoy it. Heck I had to numerously protect the sproutings from the cats it was just so enticing to them. Just remember to keep the soil moist and not to let it dry out or the grass will wilt and fall over. But not to worry watering it should bring it back in a day or two.
