it'd be MUCH better for any environment to have "natives" growing in lieu of
grass which not only requires a lot of water to survive, but, more
importantly, grass and their roots are the winter grocerystore for
grasshopper, japanese beetle, rose chafer, and a whole lotta more nasties.

if your "lawn" is mossing, that usually means either you're receiving a lot
of rain or your groundwater table is very high.

you did not mention where your moss is located (what country? state?
location: mountains or valley?) but perhaps a perc test would be in your
best interest.....?

Subject: Moss to Meadow?

My lawn is heavily infested with moss. I've used weed, feed &
mosskiller products for a couple of years on it, to no avail. It has
been suggested to me that I should turn it into a wild flower meadow as
I'm not succeeding in turning it into a bowling green. Will it work?
