Grass

A few years ago I was at the seed store to get grass seed. I just mentioned
to the manager that I wished the grass seed would grow like the stuff from
pet stores for cats. He said to get wheat or oat seed, potting soil, and
grow your own in small containers. The wheat/oat seed is about .25 per pound
and a 25 pound bag of potting soil is about $2.00 (cheapest is fine). Much
less expensive than the $3.00 packs at Petsmart. Five pounds of wheat/oat
seed lasts our Fabulous Four for a year.
A container is "Cat Ready" in about 6-7 days.

Good suggestions - thankyou.

Can one make a lawn out of wheat or oat?

pancakes can you fit in a doghouse? None, icecream doesn't have bones.

It might be coarser than the usual species of lawn grass, but otherwise,
it would be just the same as a closely-cut field of wheat/oats, I guess?

I don't think that you would want to walk across it while barefoot, at
least not after mid-summer.

That's an interesting question. Wheat and oats are designed to be allowed
to grow to produce ears for seed, whether you could keep mowing them is
debatable. They are annuals, so probably you could just for a year and
would have to sow again.
