Vuzzez: My only concern is that, in my experience, old herbs tend to turn a pale yellow/gray colour over time. That might not be too much of a problem if the faded colour suits your scene. You could always apply a little colour in the future if need be.

I'm just a dude with a bad back having a lot of fun with model trains, and finally building a layout!
Intriguing idea, however, what about the potential for some of the insects that are attracted to and feed on various types of herbs?

I think you can a few drops of Lysol to whatever you use to glue it down. But I'm confused. Why use herbs; on a per pound basis they are far more expensive than groundfoam.

It is not a new idea. But it is an idea many have tried only to find it fails.
I have to say I agree with the satement that it will fade. The color may be right for right now, but my experience in growing and drying herbs is that they will fade over time and you won't like the look later on. {I don't use them on my layout, and every year I "refresh" my herb stock form hte garden.}

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
