Customer Rating:      Summary: good idea, but falls very short of claims Comment: This is the first negative review of a product I have made. I just purchased the drinkwell platinum, the aqua garden, and pretty much all of the extra accessories that go along with it. I love the fountain, it really works well, and both my dogs and my cat like it, and drink more. I really wanted to like the aqua garden as well (especially since I bought the starter plus 2 more packages of refills). My cat is the only one who eats the grass, but as another reviewer stated, he eats it about as fast as it grows. So, what is supposed to look like a somewhat lush little patch of kitty grass, looks like a stringy few pieces of almost dead grass. I do not know if it will start in another container or not, but I will give it a try and update if anything changes. I know I will not be buying any more refills, and I will stick with getting kitty grass in a separate container.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Be careful! Doesn't fit on the Drinkwell Platinum! Comment: A great idea, especially for someone, like me, who would forget to water the cat grass more than once every two weeks. Unfortunately, the clip doesn't clip on to the Drinkwell Platinum. I assume there is a new design or something, because other reviewers seem to have had no problems. Of course, I could just leave it sort of hanging there, but then when my cat tried to eat the grass, she would just pull the whole thing off.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Don't buy this product Comment: Not only does the grass never grow, but the water gets so nasty in a short time that it has to be changed almost daily. Do not waste your money on this product. I'll be using chia pet grass instead.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Aqua Garden is a waste of money Comment: Bought this thinking how great it would be to have without soil...latch it onto the fountain & viola...but too few sprouts make it not worth the extra time & effort. Use a small dish, good potting soil & viable seeds; sow seeds, lightly covered with soil, keep misted with H2O & you will have much better results in a day or two, just make sure you have the starter seed dish out of the way of the cat..at least till it's 4" or so. No need for the fountain either. I found it to be too loud & can't control the flow well. Cats will drink out of a toilet, if you let them..they love trickling water. My cat is 15 & is on special diet due to renal failure. Be sure to supply fresh water often and make sure you groom your cat regularly or you'll be cleaning up more cat yack than you want to.
Customer Rating:      Summary: Drinkwell aqua garden Comment: It took my cat a week to get used to the fountain. He now drinks from it all the time. The Aqua Garden srouted within days. it stays clips to the fountain and it easy to maintain. but my cat doesn't eat the grass - not sure why. The garden is not a necessity, so only get it if you think your cat would eat it. We have a plant that out cat prefers to eat instead.
