Having treated my lawn with moss killer I now wish to rake it. I know
from past experience there will be a lot. In the past I have added it to
the compost heap, however in last Saturday's Telegraph that was a no no.
What does the panel think?

Don't know if the moss killer makes this a Bad Idea but I wondered if it
could be put into a netting bag and hung up for birds to use for nesting.
Does the moss killer remain active in terms of doing harm to living
creatures, do you know? Anything on the tin?

It's typically iron sulphate, often with ammonium sulphate. Nothing
to worry about.
