Hello everyone
I am based in Hong Kong (where it is around 34 C all year round) and am trying to hydroponically grow some hot weather grass (fescue, Bermuda) in a tray and plan to use it for my dog’s pottying purposes. My sister also has a dog and has asked me to send her a tray as well.
I have managed to grow grass (being a newbie gardener), however my problem is that the hydroponic growing medium I am using or the ‘soil’ won’t stick together / falls apart whenever I try to take the grass out of the tray. Can’t imagine it would ever survive transport via post/delivery in a cardboard box… would make a huge mess
Any ideas on how to make the ‘soil’ stick together better so that it is like a piece of carpet when I pull it out? Have researched and found stuff about soil stabilisers but not sure these are readily available in small quantities as they are used for industrial purposes. Have thought about bird netting but this is mostly made out of plastic and I want to use only biodegradable materials.
Are there certain grass varieties that would grow a thicker root mat that would hold the ‘soil’ together, by any chance?
Thank you!
