Default Growing moss etc on galvanized fence

"john t west" wrote

We are having to install a new security fencing around our allotment.

Its very bright shiny galvanized finish is a bit overpowering. Is there any
way to encourage moss etc to grow on it to get it to blend in more?


Not that I know, but after a year or so of weathering you can paint it with
special paint. It will dull down eventually to a light grey colour. You
might try spraying it with watered down natural live Yoghurt which
encourages moss etc. on walls and fences and see what happens.
