Question :

How can I get rid of mold from a pot?

I m growing wheat grass for a science fair experiment, and they were overwatered a few days ago. Now they have a lot of white, fuzzy mold growing in the pots and one even has a little mushroom. The grass is withered and appears to be dying. Is there a way to salvage the wheat grass without putting anything besides water in the soil?

Answer :
You probably killed your grass as tj said from over watering. BUT, you still have a science fair project on the result of over watering, just take pictures of your fuzzy mold and little mushroom. Mushrooms are actually a sign of good soil. I m an amateur mycologist (mushroom scientist). If you send me a photo of the mushroom and it s "spore print" (Google time) I can probably identify it. Not all science works out the way we want but that s the way things go and how you learn. If you have time you could also start over. RScott

Question :

How to keep cat grass growing for our 10-lb tabby cat? Pot depth? Trim height? Fertilizer? Sun?

I m growing some cat-grass seeds from the florist (Triticum aestivum) in a takeout container (with holes for drainage) and they re about 3 inches tall. There s a room our cat can t get into where other plants are growing too. I ve read that the grass can grow very tall, just like in the fields of wheat that can be seen on farms.

Many cat-grass pots are grown and then left to the mercy of the cats, I d like to grow the grass at least 4 inches tall and then trim it and give these clippings to our cat while keeping the grass alive and continuously growing.

So my questions are:

1. How deep a pot of potting soil (inches) is needed to have the grass grow healthy and continuously?

2. How much sun should it get?

3. I have miracle-gro water-soluble fertilizer, how often should this be added and at what concentration (e.g. half or quarter)?

4. How tall does the grass need to be to stay healthy? In other words, how much can it or should it be trimmed to?

5. Also I m growing catnip too, how much can the catnip be trimmed or pruned before it can t grow back anymore (I d like it to keep growing more)?

6. Will the cat-grass and catnip continue to grow and grow?

Thank you very much. And our beloved kitty thanks you too, she loves to nibble on it but pulls the plants completely out of the pot.

Answer :
1 just 3-4 inches
2 It doesn t need a lot of sun. If it s in a room with a window and lights that are usually on it will be fine.
3 Do NOT put Any fertilizer on a plant that a cat will eat.
4 You wont need to trim it, the cat will do that for you. Mine is usually chewed down to 1 to 2 inches
5 Keep about 3 to 4 inches of stem and leaves on the plant. Cut it just above a leaf and it ll grow best.
6 The grass depends on the quality. Some yes, the cheaper not so much. Cat nip, yes it should keep growing

Question :

Horses in FRESH wheat field.. URGENT!! HELP!!?

So the owner of the barn just opened up a HUGE acre of four foot tall fresh and growing WHEAT for the horses!! All summer they have had grass a nice amount and have been outside a lot, but never too much. Well most the horses are getting pot bellies from gaining so much weight from the grass... The wheat is really scaring me though!! Its fresh, and there is SO much of it!! They were not slowly introduced to it!! AHH!!!

There are three private horses, including mine! After our lesson today we decided to keep our horses inside for the night because we dont want them to eat all that wheat and colic or anything!!! So tonight they are in!!! We went out to look at the field and one of the shetland pony fillies was laying next to her mom... ): She had wet marks on her side from where she had been nipping at herself... We think she could have been colicing.. We told the owner and he just shrugged and kinda thought nothing of it.. \: We watched her and walked her a bit but then we had to go. ):

So PLEASE help me answer this question..
WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU WERE ME!?! How long should we turn our horses out there for?? My horse is soo attached to the other herd members. S: So how long should I keep him in, and if I turn him out how long would you let him graze? he is a big horse over 17 hands, and underweight since he is a rescue boy. AHhh! This sucks! HELP HELP HELP!

Answer :
There is always a risk in changing over from one feed to another too rapidly. I would keep them off of it most of the time and let them out for an hour, then two, then three, as they adapt, and just feed them grass hay while they are being kept off of the pasture. Hopefully they can be outside moving around and not locked up in stalls in order to do this. The other option would be to put them in grazing muzzles for most of the time they are out.
A concern I would have is with the calcium to phosphorus ratio. Some wheats have too little calcium, which can lead to serious calcium deficiencies. There should be at least a 1 to 1 ratio, and 2 to 1 calcium to phosphorus ratio is even better. You should have that tested and/or discuss it with your vet to see what is advised.
