Default Lichen

Hi there.

My garden used to be a pretty easy going plot but this last year I'm over
run with lichen in most of the borders. It's growing between practically
every plant now, despite me scraping the soil off to the depth of two inches
or more in some places.

It begins as a greasy looking black slick and then turns into a bright gren
lichen (not the yellow/white stuff you get on patios)

Is there any product on the market that I can use that will kick it into
touch without damaging the many plants that are surrounded by it now?

Many thanks in advance.

Zo
