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!
We found that the moss eradicated the grass in our lawn without any effort from
us.


But it is pretty and feels like walking on a lawn with underlay :-)


So are the clover and the daisies. Grass who needs it?


Ok, so are all of you who posted replies saying I should let the moss
take over both of my lawns?
