Hello,

I live just outside of New York City in an apartment with a small
backyard (8' x 15').

There are several tall buildings around my backyard, so any part of my
backyard gets at most 4-6 hours of sunlight. I've tried for the past
few years cultivating some lawn area (even using "shady" seed), but it
thrives for about a month and a half, then withers and dies.

Someone recommended creating a moss lawn. I was skeptical, but after
some research online (http://www.mossacres.com/), I have to say that it
looks pretty cool. However, I'm concerned that while I don't get enough
sunshine for grass, am I getting too much sunshine for a moss lawn? If
not, can anyone recommend a variety of moss that can endure some mild
foot traffic and thrive in partial sunshine? Any other recommendations?

Thanks,

Nick
