How can I grow grass for my pets when I don't have a garden? Now, I know this is a stupid question and probably the most funny and ridiculous one you've heard but please bear with me! Basically, I have two guinea pigs and two largish white rabbits. I am running out of straw and hay for them and the place I get it from hardly ever gets it now. So I'm stuck as I'm in a city-ish place and straw/hay/etc is hard to come by. Local grass is not such a good idea due to trash, pollution, and anti-bug spray to name a few issues. The other day I came up with the idea of growing tall grass to then cut up for my pets. The only problem is that both my front yard and back yard are covered with marble. There is no place to grow stuff aside from pots all of which are filled by my parents plants and flowers. So, I was wondering if I could possibly grow tall grass in pots or even a wooden box. I had this idea to get my dad help me make a large box out of strong wood, fill it with clean soil (if that makes any sense) and plant the grass in there. I would water it as a normal garden and harvest the grass likewise. But would this work? Or would it only become a miserable flop? Any thoughts on how I can do this successfully? Thanks a million in advance!! P.S. I know this probably sounds immature and makes you cringe, but please don't berate me for not having enough money to buy proper stuff. I'm not rich and just have enough to feed them. I would buy straw and hay but I can't find any in my area. My dad is real busy and I have to take care of the family pets. They're not even mine, not really, but I don't mind that. I just want to take care of them properly and that's why I'm asking this question. Thanks! ;-)
