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 nursery
- One piece of turf, approx. $7 - trim to fit
- One 25L bag of potting mix
That is the whole shopping list.
Step by step
Setting it up
Attach the wheels
Flip the Grassifier upside down on a flat, solid surface - don't hold it in the air. Push each wheel stem straight into its corner socket and lean your weight on it until it clicks. It's a firm push-fit, so tight is normal: keep it straight and push harder, or tap it in with a rubber mallet. It's done when no metal stem is showing, and pushing firmly won't damage it.
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 4-5 cm of potting mix across the base. One 25L bag is about right.
Lay the turf
Lay your piece straight onto the soil. One full piece, or two halves depending on how it was cut.
Water it in
Soak it well to bed the turf 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 turf - then water and wait.
It works out cheaper again, and some people just prefer it.
