apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

Very cool. I'd be tempted to leave the cinder blocks as is, too. But I bet the tiles will look great, as well.

That is so pretty and logical. Love all the green~ especially your handmade upside down tomato growing pot.

I'm wondering thought.....How do you stop the grass from molding inside the dirt? (Or the dirt molding - something molds....) I would love to grow cat grass (Wheat grass) inside but something weird always happens inside the pot and it dies....anyone know why?

nice idea!

Dana_G,

I've been keeping a close eye on this for the past few weeks and I cannot see any mold with my eye. I've read about molding with indoor wheat grass and that is why I didn't grow any. But I think I may try some in the future. Since the cinder blocks are so porous I wonder if that prevents water from standing at the surface. But I've also read that the mold has something to do with seeds that don't properly germinate or die. There have been pieces written about indoor wheatgrass causing nausea because of this. Not sure if that's some kind of urban legend or what.
