Yes, Roger.
It comes in flat slabs - slice it into strips, pull it apart and spray it with grey/brown paint. Spray with adhesive (I use layering spray for static grass) then sprinkle scenic scatter onto it. Trim any loose bits with scissors.
I made these for Low Ghyll.

Horsehair hedges need a careful trim with very good scissors when finished to get rid of any fly away tendencies at the edges.
