Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comLove your site. I bought Oat Seeds from the pet store and grow it here at home for Cat Grass. It dies off quickly in the little containers I grow it in.
Wondering if these are the same oat seeds used by farmers to grow oat fields.
Because mine don’t grow tall w/ husks and seeds at all (and like I say just die off w/in a week or two).
Could this be because the soil isn’t deep enough, and if it was (like in a field), they would grow into oat stalks?
So yes, I read that oats are the same as “cat grass,” but I don’t see how, being that mine planted for the cat at home just die quickly.
Thank you so very much,

Yes, the reason they grow and die so quickly is that they are constricted for space in the container. If you use a very large pot, or sow in the open, they will do much better.
