Does anyone have a source for this stuff, I know you can buy bags of it nowdays. But I can't find it anywhere, looking for a online source please.

Check the spice rack! Seriously. Dill, all spice, stuff like that works great.

It's what I use.

I hope this helps.

Yea but I am looking for a more realistic leaf pattern, which I did finally find a source but they are in the UK.

Have you tried Woodland Scenics?

Everthing they sell is based on sponge/foam It works great for small scales like trains. But I am looking for something in a larger scale, so if you add it to a base as leaf litter it tends to look like clumps of sponge to me.

What scale are we talking about?

Fiskars makes a leaf hole punch, but it may be too big. Again, what scale?

I've used dried Basil and Oregano worked great. Seen crush up real leaf used too. But I like the herbs better because they are real small, dried leaves.

Hudson & Allen Forest Litter is great stuff, I use it all the time.
