Lono,

I did this by accident, but I like the way it looks.

This is the story of the moss covered railroad tie. Several years back, I gathered moss in March because it was nice and green. I thought my husband could use it for a booth he was working on at a big Home and Garden show. Well, he didn't use it so it sat down in the woods on this railroad tie in a plastic planting tray. The kind of tray that has an open web pattern on the bottom. It sat there quit happy for about a year till I planted it back in the woods.

Fastforward about two more years and this is what the railroad tie looks like now.
I brush it off and pull an occasional plant out of it, but it's easy to maintain.
