Each year I get some problem with moss mostly on my front lawn, but
this year it more prolific and has nearly covered my back lawn.
I have used 'Evergreeen' feed, weed and mosskiller, which it did,
then I raked up about 90 odd percent of it on both lawns, and now I
have ended up with quite a few bare areas with not much grass.
After cutting both lawns I have seen that there are still a few small
areas of moss where I missed when treating the lawns.
What should I do now, or what sequence of events should I follow to
get both lawns looking better again?
Thanks

I too have a much worse moss problem than usual. I wonder if I leave it, the
grass will disappear?. Moss is quite comfy to sit on

Hi Pete, how goes it in London? I don't know why people don't like
moss in a lawn, I think it is lovely, o.k. it is not a typically
British lawn with moss in it, but I actually like it.

I've always understood that the Japanese grow areas of moss, the same as
we do grass, then spend lots of money and effort to eradicate the grass!
