Student stips fiber from green rectangle of landscape matting on top a table

Fog_Student Assembles Test Frame

Graduate student Mike Schwindeller pulls fibers out of matting to create another variation to test. Interestingly, when students removed fibers, made it a little less "hairy," it became a better collector because less water stayed trapped in the matting itself and ran off faster.
