HOW TO GROW A GRASS EMBANKMENT
This project may take several days to complete because some stages need
a drying period.
Material List
- Polystyrene Block, ideally a solid block used for wall insulation
available from DIY stores. This is inexpensive.
- PVA Glue.
- Bonding Gauze, typically used for covering plasterboard
joins. But any gauze will do, e.g. first aid bandage.
- Textured Ceiling Plaster. But any plaster that dries hard will
do.
- Fibre Mat. Hair/Jute mix - important. See
if I'm selling some on Ebay.
- Washing up liquid.
- Green water based paint.
- Yellow Ochre water based paint.
Tools
- Polystyrene Cutting Tool, e.g. bread knife, hacksaw blade or
hot wire.
- Small Trowel, to apply plaster.
- 25mm Paint Brush, to apply paint base.
- Glue Spreader, with serrated edge preferred.
- Hair Comb
- Dressmaking or Hair Scissors, and/or electric hair clippers.
- Modelling Air Spray Gun and Propellant. Preferred, but dabbing
with a paint brush is possible.
