Forest ground cover

[nachoman]

I once took the dried flower blossoms from a backyard tree and ran them through a blender. I thought the results were pretty good. I try to keep organic materials on my layout to a minimum. I have heard of mice chomping down a forest off trees made from local weeds, and when I was a kid, I had some kind of moths lay their eggs in lichen and natural materials I was using for ground cover. My mom never did figure out where all those moths were hatching out from . If you are to use natural materials, I would suggest finding a preservative that keeps the critters away.
