Haven't tried making my own ground foam yet, but the time's coming soon to start re-creating the dense Adirondack forest so a lower cost method is an issue. My last layout had acres of forest represented by puffs of polyester fiber used for pillow or doll stuffing. Dyed it green, gave it a light spray of cheap Hunter green paint & rolled it around in expensive ground foam. Foreground trees got trunks but most puffs were simply glued to the sculptamold mountainside to form a dense hardwood forest. This time I need to model large tracts of pine & hemlock so furnace filters & homemade ground foam may be the answer to creating the thousands of trees necessary. Thanks for your timely post. Hope you can post some pictures. Wayne
