Oooh, interesting! Thanks for the info. I used organic topsoil with peat moss (Scott's Premium) ... would you consider that good soil?

The instructions for growing wheatgrass say that the grass reaches its peak nutritional value at 6" to 7" tall and should be harvested then. So I haven't been letting it grow any taller than that. Should I, though?

The piggies get wheatgrass once per day for the 8 or 9 days it's available. (It goes in the fridge in a container with a wet paper towel on harvesting day.)

This is my second batch, and just a few days into the first batch I noticed that PJ's coat was no longer coarse, but soft and silky for the first time ever! This is great stuff! A bit of work, but worth it for the girlies. They absolutely love it.
