SmartCat Kitty's Garden

One of our cats loves chewing on and playing with cat grass. We've purchased the smaller, more expensive versions from pet stores that don't always last very long, and figure this planter gave us more bang for our buck, and it comes in a pretty cool box. My wife put it together and followed the instructions strictly for initial setup, yes we took the wrapping off the little soil blocks. About 3 days later, we started to notice white fuzz growing on top of the soil in each plot...mold! Not wanting to risk our health or our cats', I dumped the batch and used our own potting soil instead. 7 days later, we have some budding.

Whatever is going on with the prepacked soil I recommend you toss before you even open it. 2 stars for the box and setup, minus 3 for the main attraction flaw. … more

This is probably the easiest time I've had growing plants and that's saying something because I don't exactly have a green thumb. The only thing I have to say is that whatever they have the dirt wrapped in makes it messy when you unwrap it so be prepared for a bit of a mess. The best thing about this is you can use the pots and places to grow the seeds again and again- all you need is dirt for potted plants. In fact I've done this already two times since using the original dirt that came with the pot but with the same seed packet. It's very good of whoever put this together to put extra seeds in there- I just hope to be able to buy more seeds when these run out and I'm not sure if this brand This is probably the easiest time I've had growing plants and that's saying something because I don't exactly have a green thumb.

I got a new kitten and when he turned 6 months old he wouldn’t leave my house plants alone, I couldn’t let him outdoors yet so I bought this, followed the instructions and after if had sprouted high enough brought it indoors at night when most of the plant destruction had been happening. Happy to report that he now eats his grass and my plants are finally safe from being nibbled and dug in! I put it outside during the day to get full sun and a break from being eaten, get watered etc.. bring it in a night and it’s great! Grows quickly and looks wonderful!

Me and my partner ordered this to grow some grass for a cat that we're getting soon, and we wanted it to be grown by the time we got the cat. Unfortunately, 2 days after planting the seeds, we discovered that there was mold growing in the soil. If we hadn't noticed this and the grass grew, and our cat ate from it, this would've been terrible. I am disappointed that Chewy allows on their website a product that has been repeatedly noted by consumers to come with mold- especially since the intention of said product is for the cat to eat.

This little garden kit looks lovely and is very well-made; sturdy enough to withstand a vigorous cat's paw. But...it immediately turned to mold. I was aware of the warning about watering too much, so I didn't water at all after planting the seeds. Within 2 days, there was mold and, even worse, tiny flies were suddenly everywhere. I'm still trying to eradicate them. The little garden's fate? I consigned it to a far corner of the yard. Maybe something will grow from it, but it's not coming back in the house!

Hey, it grew! I am terrible with plants but true to the instructions this was the result after about 6 days. I like that it comes in a cute container. My cat could care less, but I adopted her so I didn’t know if she’d like it anyway. It wasn’t super warm where I had it so I was doubtful it would grow but it did just fine!

ive bought this twice bc i thought i was doing something wrong that was making it mold, but when i went on plant blogs i found out the specific mold is a result of the dirt they ship, not the amount of water i was using or the light etc. pity, bc the grass grew ridiculously fast and my cat really enjoys the taste. saving grace is the amount of seeds they give you, so i can still use the seeds my cat loves while finding some soil thats not intentionally designed to have the customer buying refills constantly.

About 4 days after planting the cat grass, my kittens were able to start enjoying it, and they did! We did not have any issues with mold. I did use a slight bit less water than the instructions stated and only about 1/3 of the seeds and the grass was still full. The cats did have the grass pretty much demolished within 8 days, I will replant soon. The planter is just adorable too!

It was very easy to set up and grew very quickly! My Reilly loved it right away! BUT....I think maybe I overwatered??? Cause she’s already wilted. But I will order more soil pellets from the company and still have extra seeds! The container is beautiful!

This grew a lot faster than I thought, and it comes in a very nice container! The moment I put the grass down my kitty chowed down. I might have to buy another one just to keep him happy!
