It does get indirect light from a south facing window that the planter is about 5' away from.<br /><br />I use the grass seed in a very shady section of my lawn. There's one large tree and some smaller ones that shades the area for all but 1 or 2 hours when the sun is setting and the grass does well there.<br /><br />There's one small strip that has become bare but I think that's mostly due to rain being blocked by some bushes. I'm probably just going to extend the bed and cover it with mulch.<br /><br />If you find a nicer planter please come back and let me know about it. The one I got is OK looking but I was hoping for something a little shorter. It allows for nice deep roots but a shorter one I think looks nicer.<br /><br />Also, when you fill the planter, fill it with potting mix to the top. As you water it will sink a bit. This grass is very fine bladed and after about 2.5" of height it will droop from the weight. Having the soil as high as possible will allow for more of the grass to show above the planter. The weight of the water droplets make the grass heavier too so I use a spray bottle to water it. Pouring water makes makes some of the grass fall over.<br /><br />I didn't do that but once the grass is established I'm going to gradually topdress with about 1/4" of potting mix every week or so.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3375318389927737141.post-83661451191964847932012-07-11T15:26:34.221-04:002012-07-11T15:26:34.221-04:00Just wanted to say I've been thinking of makin...Just wanted to say I've been thinking of making a project like this for my office.
