I'm located in the "Great Northwet" (Seattle area),
the moss capitol of the world.
Thanks

Moss does not like any kind of metal ions (I'm thinking your
gutters are not metal). I would suggest cleaning the area twice a
year (by hand) and using an anti-moss or moss-killer. You could
try making a spray yourself with Mule Team Borax (1/4 c.)
dissolved in a pint of warm water.


Zinc strips can be bought at most hardware stores. The trick is to
get rid of the moss first as noted above and the zinc will limit the
return. There is no total prevention but zinc does work. I live on
Vancouver Island and think we take your title away. The wet coast
but wetter.
