I am in the process of giving our front lawn a much needed scarifying! I
suspect that over the past 3 or 4 years the moss and thatch factor has
grown to over 50% and there is a mountain of growing rubbish requiring
disposal. The question is, can I throw it in one of our compost stalls
along with the other items from the garden? Or is the moss likely to
take a very long time to become composted and effectively dead?

I don't know if this will be any use to you, but last time our lawn was
scarified in the spring, I used the moss to line hanging baskets, which
appear to still be perfectly well lined now, almost a year later!

Thank you Vicky. I didn't think of using it for hanging baskets. I'm
sure SWMBO will be delighted with the suggestion as we have rather a lot
of hanging baskets all of which are outwith my province. I guess we
could also start a takeaway for nesting materials.
