Well I started my ground cover last night:

I sifted out the larger boulders from the earth that I picked up to make me basic 1st layer

Then I spread it on the lower slope, using full strength white glue to hold it in place. Before I did this I ballasted the track, using woodland scenics dark brown ballast. I have to go back to cover some spots yet.

Getting to the chemically stained mill waste, I also sifted out some clay-type kitty litter. I think I'll stain it with the same yellow ochre that I used on the rocks and use it.
