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.


I only clear the centre path were people walk. The edges are left to
sort themselves out. The moss doesn't look so bad in the large patch
where the car use to be parked. In summer it dries up and does look
very nice.
