I have also just used the grass fibers directly from the shaker container (Woodlands) with decent results on a couple of modules. Since I do most of modular work outdoors in humid Texas, I guess that was a benefit. My desire is to have an even longer fibre--I would like to see tall grasses and wheat fields that would be in the 2.5 foot range. A couple of years ago at the Sn3 Symposium, plans were distributed for a homemade unit that was a fraction of the price. To me the only problem was it used 110Volts while the Koch model uses a standard 9 volt battery. I think the plans are on line. All in all, we've come a long way from the grass mats of old from Life Like!

Sometimes our humidity drops under 20% and in general is very low. I have found that static grass does not stand up very well when the humidity is low. The simple solution was just to put the grass in a small can which is placed in a larger can with an inch or so of warm water in the bigger can and cover with any kitchen plastic wrap. After 30 minutes or longer the grass seems to work very well. Just did some 6mm grass this week that looks great. John in Reno
