Carpet is absolutely ideal for making cornfields.

I have used car repair mesh to make fences.
Cocktail Sticks

Cocktail sticks are a fantastic modelling material they can be used to make snake fencing, spiky fences the list goes on and on, as well as that they also make useful tools for carefully applying small amounts of glue, paint to a model.
Doormat

Doormats are extremely good for modelling, and can be used in many places either as cornfields or cut up into smaller clumps and added as foliage.

Foamboard is extremely useful for making buildings and ruins as it’s extremely easy to work with.
