Serious question: What do you do to keep a steady supply of cat grass?
I have two cats and they will destroy a full planter like in the picture in about 3 days. I really can't go to the petstore to buy a new disposable package of grass twice a week, neither time, income or the environment will bear that.
I've tried planting oats, rye and barley myself, but a) don't get it as dense, b) it's surprisingly hard to get seeds in the 1 kg range, and c) my beasties will murder any fledgling grass even as the fresh, healthy, fully grown planters watch in horror.
What do you all do?
I think I may be lucky, they only like to eat the tips from time to time. So if I don't forget watering the grass I can keep it for a month or more.
Wow, mine will happily graze it down all the way.
