Dry cut tea (loose or from tea bags) also works well.
Mix PVA and mud-brown paint, and while still wet, cover
with a mix of tea with a small amount of "medium turf"
ground foam (for a few plants). Wait about 5 minutes,
then turn the figure sideways and tap the base to remove
the excess "turf". After it's dry, paint over the "turf"
with thinned (3:1) PVA. You don't even need to drybrush,
because the color of the tea varies.
