Default Moss in lawns

What is the cause of moss growing in lawns. I have areas that seem to
like to grow it and others that have no signs of it. Does it normally
like to grow in alkaline or acid soils? Is it beneficial or best to
get rid of it? Most of my grass is centipede growing in shade, with
very sandy soil.


Moss likes acidic moist shady soil. You have the conditions moss
enjoys. I think it makes a wonderful ground cover, controls erosion
and has a nice green color. Why not keep it?
