This stuff looks to be very good for making really excellent looking hedgerows. It's intended use is apparently for upholstery stuffing. Via google I've found a number of companies in the UK that sell it, but have had no luck finding a source in the USA. Does anyone know of one? Thanks. |

I've found this stuff in Lowes. It's in the garden section. It's used as a hanging basket. |

If you can find a local furniture upholsterer they may have some available for sale. |

My local furniture upholsterer had no idea what I was talking about. :-( here's a source:

What they have at Lowes is called coco fiber liner. It's pressed coconut fiber, not rubberized. It's in the garden area used to line planters. |

There are some furnace filters that are made of similar material. Here is one example; big box stores used to sell them, too: link And an old TMP thread: TMP link |

If you find an old sofa or chair it may have it. That's how I got 3 kitchen sized garbage bags of the stuff. |

To add to Skeptics post: There are also sponges/cleaner made from a similar material. There is a thick version and a thin version. These are also available in the Home Depot/Lowes type stores. link link If you are doing a smaller job/build these could work. If you are making a large amount, going with the furnace filter sized item makes more sense. |

I used eBay and got mine from the UK to the US in about 7-10 days. |

I bought some of the hanging basket material. It works fine as is but I also bought some grey rubber spray to try on it once the weather is better.
Here it is representing some dead shrubbery:

Walmart sells a natural fiber furnace filter that looks like hogs hair. Its about $5 USD for a great big filte,and has a mesh netting on the outside that peels off quite easily. |

A couple of years ago, I ordered from onlinefabricstore.net where I got a 6'x2' mat or rubberized horsehair for only $12.50 USD plus $6.95 USD shipping. I have made quite a few things from it and still have a good deal left so it was a good deal. |
