Steve, tile grout works quite nicely to represent dirt, and comes in a wide variety of colours. If I recall correctly, a 1lb. bag of it was only a buck. You can mix it with real dirt and/or ballast, etc., and it's applied dry, as you would any scenic material. I did some test sections of track using it, and, after pre-wetting it, also applied dilute white glue. Ground foam and static grass can probably be done in the same operation, or afterwards, too.
