Growing Kitty Grass Without Soil
A kitty prepares to taste some fresh grass
Iterating on my system for growing kitty grass at home (which I summarized here), I decided to reduce the mess the kitties make when eating/playing with the grass by not using soil. D dubbed this “napkinponics”, which is a great name, except it is not accurate – I used a paper towel, not a napkin.
The process is quite simple: take a paper towel, make it wet, put the seeds on it, keep the whole thing wet for a week or so, and the grass will do its thing. There is still a bit of a mess after the cats take a go at it, but at least there is no soil.
Some pictures of the process:
