You could use very fine beach sand or foundry sand and paint it. I once brought a sample of good Maine dirt to the hardware store to have them match the color. I wanted to put a thick layer of paint down and sprinkle the ground cover over it while it was still wet. I thought the dirt color would look very natural on the bare spots, and by golly it did. You should have seen the face on the paint guy. I think I made his day.
