Moss is more a function of soil pH, compaction, and shade


Start by testing and correcting the pH (which will also make
fertilizers perform better)
Increase the amount of organic material in your soil (return the
clippings to the soil)
Avoid products which damage your earthworms


Or be a happy idiot and blindly apply whatever is being advertised.

Yes and by giving the grass the conditions it needs for optimal growth
it will overtake the moss without leaving bare patches.
