Zebra Planter by DrFemPop

Show off your grass with this zebra!
I am using this for wheatgrass that my cats love to eat. I don't care for the taste personally.
No supports required!
There are two versions of this model, one with a large hole (to fill with soil), and the other that is designed for a strip of jute; jute mats used for hydroponic gardening
I personally recommend the one with a jute mat as you are going to get much more consistent straight grass with that. I also tried the soil version, it's much easier since you literally just throw soil and seeds together, and still looks great, but it doesn't grow nicely organized.
Instructions:
Print! to get mine to fit on print bed, rotate 45 degrees to maximize space on print bed
take a jute mat and cut a 1" x 10" strip
cover the entire surface of a single jute strip with seeds on a flat area, making sure every inch is covered in seed, and water daily making sure the jute stays moist, consistency of a soaked sponge
In 4 days or so, your grass will already be growing nice and vertical, the roots will be taking a firm hold growing within/through the strip. Once it's at a length of your liking, put the jute mat strip into the zebra planter.
OPTIONAL, cut a second 1"x10" strip to place under the first strip; it allows the planter to retain more moisture so you don't have to water as often.
Enjoy, water daily :-)
