It IS almost impossible to get the look of an aged cliff wall

in
one sitting, but give it a few years, leave fallen leaves

where
they fall to decay, provide _dampness_, and it will come.

Native
plants (especially those native to rocks and that KIND of

rocks)
also help.

Or give it a few hundred years.


Nah. You'll be surprised what as little as 3-4 years will do.
