My contractor compadre has an instructional CD on thatching a roof that he got from a friend stationed in the UK-it is really interesting to watch how it is done. The longer stuff-like reeds, tall grasses, etc is apparently easier to work with in the bundling process-they were tying the stuff up pretty tight with heavy twine before attaching it to the roof trusses.

It's really quite interesting, and when done right, good protection from rain/snow and good insulation.
