Generally, I have painted the ground brownish with any cheap house paint I have to create underlying dirt, then sprinkle all the various woodland scenic or scenic express ground covers over the wet paint. Let it dry overnight. The next day I usually give it a dry second pass of some various sprinkles of cover, then a spritz with a sprayer of 99% alcohol (but all the wet water type stuff works too), then a decent spritz of a 50/50 glue water solution. If it's a tight area, I have squeeze bottles (like u used to see for mustard and ketchup at a diner) and use those to do the alcohol or 50/50 solution. But you have to be careful not to let too much out. Let that dry another night. Next day everything is locked in. The trees, bushes and other larger (non-ground up items) are just glued on with a dab of glue. Done. JUST BE SURE to peel off the thin film of clear plastic many of the pink or blue hard foam has on one side! Not all have it but many do. Another tip is IF you use the squeeze bottles, you can securely tape up the tip, then punch a tiny hole with something to create a smaller opening than the bottles usually have. Better control for your application.
