As much as I admire your stamina powered scarifiers do a far more
thorough
job and are relatively cheap. :-)

Life's too short for some things but unfortunately as far as moss goes it
took me a while to find that out. :-)

You're probably right, but I've never had much of a problem with moss in
that lawn befo it's always been there, but never to such an extend
that there are whole patches of nothing but moss. I think it must have
been wetter for longer this winter.

I suppose I'm an optimistist, hoping I'd never have much use for a
powered scarifier. If it ever rains I'll try the weed & feed and see
what happens after that...

If it's as bad as that then you could probably do with aerating it and
putting down sharp sand.

That can be quite an arduous job though particularly if you've a large lawn.

I bought a hollow tine aerator quite cheaply over the Internet late last
year.

It hasn't been long enough yet to judge its effectiveness but I'm hoping
that the improvement will be noticeable this year especially after all the
effort I've gone to. :-)
