Using Real Dirt for scenery, and Buying it!

I''m using real dirt on my new layout. I've done some sample applications using some sifted top soil and it was very dark, much more than it appears outdoors in natural light over a large area. I harvested some dirt from the old D&H road bed near here which is more sand than soil and while it looked too light on the gound, it was more to my liking. If the snow ever melts & the ground thaws a bit here, I'll be able to fetch more to continue with the scenery. <br /> <br />Wayne
