The product is super fine to silt size dirt and sure easier than sifting own. Color is nice universal. One word of caution, it is a challenge at first to work with since it wants to go everywhere. Must be first layer with scenery worked up around it. Found putting down a glue base, sprinkled on with small Woodland shaker bottle, then pressed flat into the glue by laying an index card flat over it and rolling with a the lid from the bottle. It was clumpy until you figure how to work with it. Vacuum up loose stuff and repeat until you get the look you want. It you put it down too thick and spray it, it will pock mark. I am in N scale so big glue pocks don’t look good.

Much easier and more standardized than sifting your own soil. And no bugs!!
