I tend to go with model railroad grass, usually 3 different variations for depth, and I finish it all off with static grass.
I first paint my surface green, for a nice grassy look, or brown, for a muddier look. I then paint on a layer of Elmer's glue, doing only sections at a time, and I sprinkle the grass onto the glued area, alternating between the 3 different types. Once the grass is all sprinkled on, I take a brush and tamp down the grass into the glue. You will lose some grass, and make a mess of your brush, but it is alright, the brush cleans up with water. After that dries, I spray scenic cement (watered down elmers glue) over top of the grass, and sprinkle static grass throughout the area. After the glue dries, I blow off the excess grass.
