Hey guys. I wanted to share this with you since i have seen a lot of people use tea for flocking purposes. I wanted to point out the fact that tea comes in a huge variety and not just in green or yellowish grassy colors. this is called soiera or siera. either way it looks like dirt to me. This is the same tea by the way, the difference is, the one on the right has been soaked in water and dried. so you see with that method i now have to different dirt colors. you could soak it however long you want to get different shades! Happy tea hunting

I drink a cup of tea every morning, shouldn't take me long to gather a respecatble 'Stash' - pardon the pun - of tea (dirt).

Tea leaves and coffee grounds are both great materials for making "dirt". Just be sure to dry it thoroughly and seal it so that it doesn't start to ferment in your mini container...

I've used tea too, from bags that were too old to use (people give me some, knowing that I am a tea drinker).
Peppercorns work well as little rocks too. I bet dried parsley might give you some fern-like stuff too. Raid that spice cabinet!

Not sure if this is a good idea, but... cat nip? it would certainly do for grass although it may have some undesirable side effects during play time.
