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?


The recommended route to encourage lichen for new-build , in
conservation areas , is to slap on, as near as natural yoghurt that you
can find, ie no flavourings/preservatives etc



Strange, in the old days it was liquid cow dung, but then to me there is
little difference.
