Can you grow roll out flowers on grass?

im thinking bout purchasing one of those instant gardens that u jus roll out and water. do i need to dig up the grass in the area i will plant in? or can i jus put it right over the grass, the mat i mean.

Can you grow roll out flowers on grass?
I hate to sound negative about this, but I was just like you, once, and couldn%26#039;t wait to get an instant flower garden by this roll-out-and-water thing! Sounded too good to be true.............


and for me, anyway, it was. Followed directions to the letter, but nothing came up. Well, that%26#039;s not true--------a few sickly looking little stalks did emerge, but they died quickly and that was all I got!


Hope you have better luck!
Reply:It%26#039;s a big no no. The mat needs a good contact with the planting soil to be able to germinate. To avoid digging the grass out for your flowers, why don%26#039;t you just get some big planters then cut the mat to fit. Also have someone build you a box, 6 inch deep, 1 feet wide and match the length of the mat and put it where you want it. Fill it up with 1/3 peat, 1/3 vermiculite, and 1/3 mixture of five different compost and manure. If you follow this mixture what you have to do only is water. No more fertilisers, and you%26#039;ll have the best flower bed ever.





It%26#039;s true, the first answerer%26#039;s are right. The mat are not a good choice. I tried and only few came up. Get some in the pockets instead, it%26#039;s more certified.
Reply:if I remember right the roll out is not carpet... the seeds are on will on act as a starter... they need dirt to keep the roots cool and wet... you need to dig the dirt for them

they waste your money not one stupid seed grew into a flower fully most didn%26#039;t germinate!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:Waste of money. I tried one of those and I got like 2 flowers out of it. It%26#039;s nothing but a bunch of flower seeds somewhat evenly distributed. In any case, you will need to prep your soil, and that means removing grass and other plants and digging at least 2 inches deep. Purchasing a flower seed mix for $5 is a much better buy. Even better is to get some perennials and plant them -- if you%26#039;re on a budget, ask around your neighbourhood or put a %26#039;wanted%26#039; poster on craigslist. I have people that help me weed, etc. all the time. In return, I give them plants.
