So I have been contemplating growing Mookie and Lady PurrPurr catnip for a while now. I want to grow it myself for 2 reasons:
1. Because it's much cheaper than buying it.
2. Because I like growing my own plants. (and have read guides on how to grow it and dry it out)
The only question I have about catnip is where can I buy the seeds? Does Walmart, Menards, Lowes, or Home Depot sell the catnip seeds like they do sell seeds for tomatoes, lettuce, peppers, etc.?
My questions don't concern catnip as much as "cat grass". During my searches of growing catnip I found out about "cat grass" and how grass helps their digestive system and with things like hairballs. I have seen feral cats eating grass outside before so their must be something to it. I then looked into kits for cat grass and they cost like 6 bucks and then after 2 weeks or so(according to reviews) they wilt up and die and then you have to buy a new kit. That seems pretty ridiculous to me.
What EXACTLY is "cat grass"? Is it some kind of special grass or is it just regular grass? I have a big giant bag of regular scotts brand grass seed that I use to fill in dead spots on the lawn. If "cat grass" is just regular grass I'd rather just sprinkle some seeds into a small indoor potter and grow it that way rather then buy a stupid $6 kit every 2 or 3 weeks. And if "cat grass" is a specific type of grass what kind is it? Is it wheat grass, oat grass, etc.?
