I personally think the main reason many people use pre-made products is because it's easy and they don't know it's possible to make many of the products you can buy. It also takes more time making your own. There is nothing wrong with using pre-made products just as there is nothing wrong with using natural products as long as they are prepared correctly.
These are two of my dioramas in which the only bought product is static grass:

The next one is the dio I spend more time over and therefore is the one which turned out the best in my opinion:

thank you for these tips grappa! i have been wracking my head with night shift for a bit to try figure out foliage, and i will do my best to not skimp on materials! this angry slug is beautiful, i think making what i can from expert teachings and buying some parts might be my key
