Stop basing 15mm figures with 28mm products

I'm not the best modeler when it comes to basing my miniatures. When I make it to basing I've already expended a lot of effort getting them painted to a good standard and I just want to finish them off quickly and get on to painting the next figures. However, even I can see that most basing material out there is comically oversized for 15mm figures. How should I base my Steel Fist ECW cavalry?? I envisioned a Lowlands look for the basing: grassy with low bushes and greenery. Most of the tufts, gravel and whatnot available at my local nerd store were too big. I didn't want them to look like they were wading through a marsh or marching across boulders. I took a look at some of the products that our friends in the model train hobby use for their smaller scales and that gave me my gameplan.
