lauire, i have never done a dio with rubbish and rubble everywhere, but i have learnt from the guys here at armorama, all you need to do are optional things like, you could get bits of clay, dry it then paint, get styrafoam and break it up, then paint it, you can get icy pole sticks and brake them up to make them look like fence paillings or wooden beams, anything , its all up to you

Cat litter makes good small stuff (use clean litter ).

One other thing you can do is to get some plaster and pour a flat sheet of it to the thickness of your walls. When its dry cover it with a paper towel or something and gently tap it with a hammer. Break it up into chunks as desired
Then paint it as necessary.
Consider building up areas with some packing sytrofoam then covering that. This way you don't need as much true rubble.
