The ground cover I am using is a layering of ground up green florist foam for the light green color, Woodland scenics dark green fine truf for the dark color, and the fine yelow Turf from woodland scenics to add in a bit of dead looking yellow grass.
The bushes are Woodland scenics foliage cluster foam.
I applied the old ground cover with matte emdium and a brush. this new batch I am using white glue/water/dish soap in a spray bottle to first wet down the area then sprinkle on the foam and then a second application of the glue mix to tack it down and give a more coarse texture to the fine foam.
