Hi everyone. I want to use real soil as a substrate for my World War II miniature wargaming tiles. I have just been near a farm and took a few samples of agricultural soil. I have break and put a part of it in my oven for one hour and a half at 170 Farenheit.
Here is a part of what I got.

I am following the advice of a guy who does awesome and very realistic World War II terrain. He told me to go search for soil on a farm, to break it down, dry it, break it down again until it becomes likes a powder. That's what I want to do.
Here is a photo of his terrain.

Here is a video of another technique with tile grout I have just discovered and want to try.
Have you tried any of those two techniques (real soil and tile grout)?
