You can use muriate of potash but the delivery rate is pretty
fast, so there's a burn potential. The moss control is a burn
off product soI'd beware of that too.

Thanks for the warning.

Seem like there is risk of burning the grass whichever way I choose.
Can I simply choose whichever product is available and apply either
one in cool temperature?

I'd go with the muriate, in small doses and only with cool
temps and irrigation.

Are you referring to "muriatic acid" (hydrochloric acid)? I haven't
heard this name before.

Hey Jay, you're only taking an aspirin for the pain with that moss
away product. You'll need to address drainage, airflow, and lack
of sunshine, topsoil, and irrigation, if you really want to grow
turf-grass there.

Sometimes ground covers are better.
