Anyone used Woodland Scenics Field Grass ?

I use it also, similar to the manner Mike does. I model in HO so I do it a bit differently. First I take a small bit of 2-3 shades each and intertwine them together. Then I shift them slightly so the ends are randomly uneven, no more that plus or minus 1/16". Then I hold that end between the fingertips and make a straight cut as close to 1/4" as possible. Then I dip the straight cut into a puddle of Elmer's White Glue and stick it on the layout where I want it. You have to use very sharp scissors or the cut becomes jagged. Use a toothpick to get it to spread out in a natural manner. You could use all one shade, but around the area I loosely model, there tends to be varied hues in the same clump. Here's an example from my old layout.
