I then used a very handy script called advanced painter to 'paint' about 100 blades of grass over a 1m x 1m plane object. Set advanced painter to randomize mode, tell it to scatter as copies (not instances), pick the 3 blades of grass as the objects to be scattered and set the min and max scale and z rotation values to something like 0.75 - 1.25 and -45deg +45deg.
