I add static grass to my Woodland Scenics Blended Turf. Gives just a hint of high weeds.

Also, I've never tried this, but I've heard of adding static grass (fake grass for dioramas, available in hobby shops) to the mix. > tim jones

Whoops, don't know if I saw this mentioned, but Liquitex, and I assume others, have acrylic based mediums that have everything from sand to fibers to flakes in them. I've heard others say the can make interesting ground/grass texture, and you don't have to worry about organics decomposing. ;->= All I saw were either white or black 'lava'. Still have to paint/drybrush. The_Beast
