Ok, i's ground cover time. The layout is painted a dark earth, and the matt glue has been applied and it's ready for the first coat of ground cover. THis is the fine stuff for covering the ground, looks like grass. Costs a pretty penny also. So my technique is to flood the area, pressing down on loose ground cover to press in the stuff at the bottom. Unfortunally this is the only way i can cover the walls of my mountains with any constinscy. However this allows for a lot of it to potentially go to waste. <br /> WEll i flooded it tonight, and it looks great, then i was sitting there looking at it, trying to come up with a good idea on how to clean it and save it. The answer hit me in the head, literly. My wife nailed me in the head with a pair of old pantyhose to throw out. I checked both sides, one was run bad, the other was perfect. I threaded this ok side down the mouth of my shop vac. I have the 2" nozzle and it fit perfectly. I then just hooked the end of the hose over the end of the shop vac hose. Turn on vac, and it filled it perfectly. I filled it up to about 2 feet long, stuffed full. THis i then emptied into a big bucket and it is in perfect shape to reuse. <br /> Give this a try some time. And if you've heard about this before, sorry. Bill <br />
