We have a long drive which gets very mossy down each side and the middle
where the wheels don't run. Having spent the last couple of mornings
clearing half of it I wondered if anyone had any experience of products
that would initially clear the moss (I don't mind a bit of physical
effort once it has been killed off) and then *keep it away*.

Googling brings up the usual list of 'infallible' products but I'm really
looking for people's practical experiences of products.

Thanks for reading and hopefully answering.

I always use diluted bleach. About a 200ml in a 7 litre watering can
full of water. It only needs doing about once a year.

I'm curious as to why it's done at all? Is there a danger of slipping
while on foot, perhaps? Otherwise, I'd think the moss would be rather
attractive.

Except on very smooth slabs, moss isn't particularly slippery;
it's algae that are. But it is VERY squidgy, so I remove it when
it starts getting an inch thick. But, generally, I ignore it,
and rather like its appearance of age.
