Martin,
Not all mosses are good candidates for bonsai lawns. You need a short, close growing variety. I was taught to harvest moss by my late sensei, Tosh Subruomaru. You go out there with a trowel or spatula and scrape up the surface of the moss, then you sweep this into a dust pan, or whatever, and treat like moss seed. It is better to not use moss on your trees, but good to have some on the side you can use to dress up trees for show. Trees with craggy bark that gets moss growing up the trunk is difficult to correct. You never really get all the moss off the trunk and still keep all the knobby bits. Kits --- Martin wrote: Hello all, I was wondering if anyone had advice on mass culitvation and harvesting of mosses for eventual use in bonsai pots. I've noticed moss seems to grow great on concrete and brickwork in my back garden and wonder if this could be reproduced on a larger, non-seasonal dependant scale? Perhaps even a commercial scale? I'd love to be able to go into a bonsai nursery and purchase a slab of moss any time of the year for my bonsai. Tis mid Winter here in South Eastern Australia- averaging 15-6 deg C (59-42 deg F), Thanks - Martin ************************************************** ****************************** ++++Sponsored, in part, by Kevin Bailey++++ ************************************************** ****************************** -- The IBC HOME PAGE & FAQ: http://www.internetbonsaiclub.org/ -- +++++ Questions?
