The downside growing your own Timothy Grass;
- It has a shallow root which means that in times of draught the plant would not survive
- It has a very small seed which cannot be easily distributed when using normal drills
- The top part is very delicate and if damaged during the two week period then the plant could suffer great damage in the following season
Anyone can have and use this type of Timothy grass, either at home or in other places, provided you have a type of animal that consumes it or you wish to use the hay as rabbit bedding for your pet bunny. Either way, the grass is rich in fiber and therefore provides high nutrition for horses and cattle alike. It is also quite easy to grow or purchase.
