Excellent use of space, the food containers are also looking good. Now I am also going to use the old tires I have.

Izhar, the price of grass seeds with Abdul seed store is Rs.160/100gm last time. But I don’t understand what they are saying. Seeds are American grass Persian carpet, American & Persian what type of grass is this? Also they have other seasonal flower seeds in their own packing, claiming seeds imported from abroad. Prices are very low & of course quality is very poor. So I decide not buy from them.

Sara, please tell us the Id of grass, if it is a good variety we can also buy some seeds from them.
