Instructions
Things You'll Need:
€ Handful Mosses
€ One Can Beer
€ Plastic Spoons
€ Spatulas
€ Spatulas
€ 1/2 teaspoon sugars
1. Put a handful of the moss you want to grow into a blender.
2. Add 1/2 tsp. sugar and one can of beer (the cheapest brand),
or 2 cups of buttermilk and 2 cups of water.
3. Blend just long enough to mix the ingredients and break down the
moss. 4. Spread the soupy mixture with a spatula over
the ground or rocks
where you want the moss to grow.
Tips & Warnings
€ Remove as much dirt from the moss as you can before you start.
€ Moss grows best in shady areas.
€ Once you've spread the moss mixture, don't get it wet or you will
wash the mixture away.

Thanks, Billy. While I have frequently encountered the buttermilk method,
I had not seen the beer method before. Perhaps I'll compare the two
formulae. Hmmm. Spraying statues... I have a very good candidate for
that!
You could also just use an old paintbrush and paint yoghurt on your pots or
statues. That too works.
I will keep that in mind. I do think I will devote at least one
of my statues to this experimentation.
