Budget ground cover - forest floor

[@turboseize]

For H0, coffee grounds mixed with some cocos fibre plant potting substrate works great. You want to dry/sterilize the coffee grunds in the oven rather quickly (one or two days at most!) after you got them out of the portafilter, else you will grow mold.

[@CassidysWorkshop]

That gives a great effect of understory ground cover. You know, it you ran some high-tension towers through that cut you wouldn't need to plant any more trees there. Ha ha.

[@tracksidescenery]

That or a hillbilly shack like I had on the old Spruce layout. I have that cut out as a diorama and sitting on the counter up front.

Joel appreciates your recognition and I’m really looking forward to receiving my background order!

[@tracksidescenery]

The man of the hour!

[@TheJpec361]

Joey on the daily grind. That's some nice material there. Can't beat the look or the price. I think I used to smoke stuff that looked like that back in the 70's...

[@albertofranchi6408]

Super beautiful work

[@toddwiley3043]

Joey! Another awesome scenery video! It's great to see you always at it. You have given so much to the hobby! Ground Cover is sweet!

[@johnhemple7459]

Budget beautiful

[@jebbthetrainkid1281]

Looks Great. Good Idea.

Joey, again awesome results with "found" materials. Thanks for showing the process! - Brian

[@JRossHunter]

Looks good.

Oster makes a 1/2 pint mini jar that aids in "blending" natural products. Great video as usual.

[@donaldkormos5529]

Small-mouth canning or Mason jars ... like those made by Ball, Atlas, Golden Harvest, Kerr ... also will fit Oster blenders. They are cheap, come in several sizes and are readily available. Oster never mentions this.

[@tracksidescenery]

I've had a few that Doreen got me from yard sales, but all of them broke. They don't make them like they used to.

[@charlesmcclure5994]

I think that looks fantastic Joey you're lucky to find that stuff growing alongside the road it looks like it works great the forest ground cover 👍👍

[@samuelbrucker7189]

Love it

[@dennissee6875]

You make scenery easy. Lookin' really good, Joey!

[@Crookedriverandeasternrr]

Looks great Joey. And you can’t beat the price

[@vincenthuying98]

Dear Joey, great to see the effect of ground down mullein seed stakes. Also, cool to see how you made that first tree from a sanded mullein stake, and added branches from a (is that a ?) conifer like tree branch. Awesome to see how this part of the scenery comes together, plus absolutely budget wise. Cheerio

[@wjspade]

It grows wild here in Texas and is currently blooming. Looks like I’ll be harvesting some this summer!

[@chuckholsclaw6829]

Our hobby is expensive enough. We have to find a way to do some things on the cheap and alot the materials are better than what you can buy because it comes from nature. Good job. You said a guy from California called o place an order. It looks like you do printing services? For model railroading? Or something else ? Enjoyed your video !

Looks like mullen is the plant

[@russellgover8899]

mullein plant

[@KevinJohnson-ge5xs]

Ya beat me to it. 😄 If you are unaware, there are great health benefits to the leaves. I always have at least 6 plants growing in the herb garden. But I never thought of using the flower stems for scenery. I do blend up leaves and use sand and micro gravel from the backyard.

[@russellgover8899]

@@KevinJohnson-ge5xs I use n gather the oddest things. Mullein is awesome!!! Come on spring!! So much to gather. Have a good evening.

What you used was called moit.

[@ralphiesmith4226]

You sound like Nicolas cage

[@tonyantonuccio4748]

Had to stop watching. The camera movement was giving me motion sickness.

[@tracksidescenery]

You definitely wouldn't like that movie - Cloverfield from about 20 years ago. I'll try to more gentle with the camera.

[@robertfish6617]

Same here.
