Default Moss on area of shrub border


We have just completed the weeding of some shrub borders prior to
laying a bark mulch in an effort to reduce the amount of future
weeding. One area of around 10 square metres had a significant
covering of moss (it is more shaded than other areas and probably
contains less builders rubble!).

We have removed all the moss but it occurred to me that 3 inches of
bark may actually encourage the regrowth of moss as it will help
retain moisture.

What does the team think?
