Before anyone asks how I did this I will tell you.
First I got some dryish mud clods from a field where it had been ploughed, put them in a bag and took them home.
When I got home I broke the mud clods into small bits and put them near the heater to dry out, when they were dry I broke them into really fine small bits.
Next i used a garden seive to remove all the small stones and bits of grass roots, which left a sort of sandy powdery stuff.
Then just mix this with warm water and you have instant sloppy mud without too many hard bits in it, then apply in the normal way.
Now for the pics.
I am getting better at taking pictures while wearing the mask, but the feeling of not being able to see what mess you are getting in until the mask is removed is still the best bit
