"Love this kit, works great every time, I always put the plastic wrap over it to speed up the process. Don't over water though, I see some pics with mold and that's how you get mold! My cat loves it. I have a black thumb and haven't screwed it up."

— Anne

"Usually buy another organic grass product for my felines but since it's been OOS, decided to try this. Big mistake. Mold formed every time I tried to grow this and the grass that does come up only lasts for a few days + is very sparse compared to the product I usually buy. Please don't waste your mo..."
