I plant a new pot full every 3 weeks for my cats. They love the stuff. Plus its cheaper than buying the stuff in the pet stores. Reading the labels and the so called catnip grass is oat and wheat seeds mixed.

I just wanna say, the "health benefits" if wheatgrass is no more than the "health benefits" of normal grass. I suggest buying real foods rather than spending money for this overpriced fad.

I grow this for my cat to eat! He seems to like it a lot more than my other houseplants. The cat grass kits they sell at pet stores are just wheat, oat, sometimes barley or rye seeds. If you don't have a health food store nearby, the bulk section at Whole Foods usually has wheat berries.

Thanks for the tip! I'm going to have to stop by a health store to pick some up [I'd love to come over and pick some up from you but I think I live a tad too far from you!]. This will be perfect for a shower that I'm helping out with a few weeks.

Cat grass is simply wheat/oat grass, and would absolutely be fine for your felines.

I love wheatgrass. I used to drink it every morning instead of coffee, it provided a much better and longer lasting energy boost! Tastes a little intense, but if you chase it/mix it with other fresh fruit juices it goes down easier. Just don't try to drink it on an empty stomach!

Do you think this is a grass that would be good for cats to eat? I always see the expensive grass in the stores for cats, but this would be a great (cheaper) alternative! Unless this is already what they use in the pet stores...

--->"Apparently you can also juice it. But in my life, its beauty benefits outweigh its health benefits."

WHAT???!? apparently you haven't read anything about how nutritious wheatgrass is for you! You would be stupid to ignore it's benefits. Seriously!! Don't be stubborn! go read up on it and learn that the body can possibly heal itself of CANCER if you feed it right. Trust me, you will increase your feeling of health when you've been consuming the juice, among other greens too. I suggest this book, you can find it used on Amazon for less than $10. Wheatgrass Nature's Finest Medicine - The Complete Guide to Using Grasses to Revitalize Your Health -by Steve Meyerowitz.

Liz, I've actually had my wheat since before I moved to New York. It seems to last forever. Sorry. If I here of a local source, I'll certainly share the info.

Sara, Ikea will no doubt have tons of great options.

VFG, absolutely.

2007-03-12T15:51:00.000-04:00

Gosh, I haven't planted wheat grass in a few years. I grew tired of it after doing it for several years in a row. I think it's time to bring it back, though. Your displays cause me to reminisce!

2007-03-12T11:51:00.000-04:00

gabby, you have read my mind. i've been thinking for a few months now that a silver planter with grass would look cool on my table for a spring center piece. awesome! i will definitely be coming over sometime soon for some seeds. we're off to ikea today to hopefully find a planter... unless you have any other ideas of where i should look for one.
