Or encourage the local birds more. The local crows have done a great
job of
cleaning the moss from the "patio" (if you knew my garden, you'ld be
laughing at this point) for use in their nests.

Also, moss likes the damp so if you have heavy, slow draining soil (I
have
London clay - anyone for pottery?), then improving the drainage can
help.
Lawns, especially, are prone to getting compacted and aeration and
dressing
in the autumn really helps.

I, like you am on London clay. How do you aerate your lawn, I can either
not get a fork in or cannot get it out without a struggle. I have a
hollow tine aerator which I bought at a local boot fair and its going
back to see if some other sucker wants it !!!!

You mention laughing about your patio, do you think anyone else out
there is as sad as me ---- I mow my "patio".
