As a way to save a few $$$$ (work has not been good this year) I decided to try my hand at making my own ground foam. I have read a few things covering a bunch of different methods for making ground foam so I took an idea from here and there and came up with this method.
first off go out the nearest craft store and pick up a block of foam like this. This was sold under the name poly foam for about $13. Tearing off golf ball size pieces Just toss them into blender that you don't intend on using for ANYTHING else. In this case I found this one at a flee market for $3. I latter found out that It goes quicker if you only fill the blender about 1/2 way with foam. That may vary from blender to blender. Next, I mixed up some Cheep-o- craft paint to a green that I liked I thinned it with a 50/50 mix of water.
