Moss

 

What is the best method of eradicating a severe infestation of moss in a
lawn?

(1) Apply moss killer with your spring and autumn feeds.
(2) Cure the conditions which are encouraging moss - usually too much shade
and dampness and too little drainage.

My lawn in West Berkshire was an uphill struggle - regular treatment reduced
the moss but the area shaded by the north fence grew moss much better than
it grew grass.

Moss killer and rake it out.  OTOH, some people with shady, damp areas
of lawn actively encourage different types of moss to grow and make a
feature of it.  Worth a thought, IMO.  If you can't change the
shade/dampness, whatever causes the moss to grow, you may have to learn
to love it and its cousins.  My own view is that it's green so that
will do nicely.

The mossiest area of our lawn has been colonised by cyclamen coum which
is a picture just now. Much better than boring old grass.
