All (Green) Thumbs?

A lot of you have huge doubts about starting gardening, saying, "Everything I try to grow dies." Of course, there is no such thing as having (or lacking) a "green thumb." There are, however, the all-important elements of luck, knowledge, and practice.

And, after all, sometimes it's best to start small.

In that vein, let me urge you plant-phobic readers to try a little experiment: growing pet grass. Only Natural Pet Store, an online and catalog-based business, has an excellent pet grass kit. Including rye, barley, oat, and wheat grass, this kit contains lots of seeds, peat moss to grow them in (so you don't have to bring any dirt or soil into your house), a two-layered black plastic growing container, an attractive wooden box to house the growing container, and really thorough growing instructions. Best of all, the seeds and the growing method are organic, so you are not only helping the digestion of your pet, you're encouraging environmentally-friendly farming and seed production. Only Natural Pet Store also offers refill packages that have more seeds and peat moss if you want to continue growing grass with the same kit for a long time. Check it out here.

Growing pet grass indoors is a simple, more or less fool-proof project. With this little bit of experience and, consequently, confidence under your belt, perhaps you will consider yourself just a little bit of a gardener, too.
