Setup
Five minutes, no tools
It arrives assembled. All you are doing is putting soil and grass into it.
What you need
In the box
- The Grassifier® and its slide-out tray
- Wheels
- A 10-pack of porous liners
- Setup guide
From the garden center
- Sod, approx. $8 - usually two pieces about 16 x 24 in, which fill it side by side with no cutting
- One large bag of potting mix (about 1 cu ft)
That is the whole shopping list.
Step by step
Setting it up
Attach the wheels
Turn the Grassifier® upside down on a flat surface. Hold each wheel by the top and rotate only the threaded shaft clockwise into the corner hole until secure. Do not rotate the wheel itself.
Fit the tray, or don't
Leave the tray out and the Grassifier® drains freely underneath - nothing to empty. If you would rather catch the runoff, slide the provided tray in before you start.
Lay the liner
Tear one porous liner off the roll and lay it in the base. If you are using a non-porous liner, poke holes in it so water can drain.
Add soil
About 1.5-2 inches of potting mix across the base. One large bag - about 1 cu ft - is plenty.
Lay the sod
Lay your sod straight onto the soil. Two standard pieces sit side by side and fill it. If yours came as one larger piece, it may need one straight trim.
Water it in
Soak it well to bed the sod into the soil, then keep it watered like any patch of lawn.
Prefer to grow your own?
You can grow grass from seed straight in the Grassifier® in about two to three weeks. Same setup - liner, soil, seed instead of sod - then water and wait.
It works out cheaper again, and some people just prefer it.
