Help with Moss on outdoor carpet
Hello all -
I have outdoor carpet covering concrete steps, and have noticed a small amount of moss growing between the steps (in the horizontal fold of the carpet). This is growing on the uncovered portion of the steps. I have found the "Moss Out" for structures at the lawn/garden store, but am wondering if there is a non-chemical treatment solution (ie: vinegar, etc?). Thanks in advance for any help! Mike |

From my understanding, all moss out is made of is iron sulfate and ferrous ammonium sulfate. These arn't terrible chemicals to be using as long as there is no concrete around. Iron sulfate will stain concrete. The only non-chemical answer I can think of is a pressure washer. Hose off the moss and it will be gone for a while. Some folks like to use bleach water (2 oz per gal) in a little spray bottle to help retard the moss from coming back afterwards. http://yard-works.netfirms.com |
