Hello,

Thanks for all the replies re using lime to help my moss problem on my
grass.

Ferrous
sulphate will kill the moss.

Other uses
In horticulture it is used for treating iron chlorosis.[3] Although not
as rapid-acting as iron chelate, its effects are longer-lasting. It can
be mixed with compost and dug into to the soil to create a store which
can last for years.[4]

It is also used as a lawn conditioner,[4]

and moss killer.
