Over the last few years, since I've tried to keep the moss away
completely, I've sort of noticed that over winter, there is certainly
more bare soil. I find that the patches soon grow over, though. Less of
a pain than moss, IMHO.

Have you ever tried to grow moss? In my previous house we had a pond
surrounded by lots of sandstone rocks. I spent years trying to get
moss to grow on the rocks but failed.

Never tried, but have plenty of it on sandstone rocks. Our back garden
is rather overhung, and I assume that helps. Don't people suggest
yoghurt if you want to cultivate moss?
