Hi all, while most people are trying to keep moss out of there garden, I'm trying to encourage it. I am haveing difficulty with getting moss to grow specifically on rocks. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get moss growing on rocks successfully. Moss doesn't typically grow on rocks, lichens typically grow on rocks. Moss grows on soil between rocks and on various organic materials, like tree bark and decaying wood. Lichens grow on a mineral based substance (rocks), and like dry and full sun. Moss likes wet and shade. One can get moss to grow in rocks if first they attach some sort of organic, but the moss still will not be growing directly on the rocks and once the organic material is depleted, which won't be very long, the moss will die. Uh, now I'm all confused. Could some one identify the moss like plant growing on the rocks, and the lichen kinda stuff growing on the branch in the folder "Garden" at http://tinypic.com/1r509n5u Hmmm?

This was in a Japanese gardening article. I mentioned powder milk earlier and thought the spores would find away. But taking moss and blending it with milk faster should work the peanut butter is sort of a spreader sticker. I have moss growing on my concrete pond wall after much time. Years. Now I try to keep it off my roof and brick patio. http://imgur.com/9gq6p.jpg Quite a contrast! That patio appears to be indoors, partially indoors, or at least well shaded, so mosses can be made to grow rather easily. But if you have moss growing on your roof (you don't display that picture) it could be indicative of a serverely damaged roof, with lots of well rotted wood under the mossy areas... have that checked out right away, before it suddenly collapses and kills people... I see what appears to be a lot of people in your moss picture... If they are gathering under your mossy roof they could own you... and now that you've apprised the world that you know of this condition your insurance won't help you. But I don't believe that's a picture of your home patio, it's too well orchestrated and cropped, looks like a commercial establishment with very professional landscaping (restaurant/caterer, golf course lodge), looks lifted off the net or a picture of an affair you attended... anyone owns a home with such a patio isn't going to have moss growing on their roof. Have you a few more views from a different perspective and a much wider angle, and without the people in formal dress... should be able to post those in like ten minutes if that's your home. Bill who putters, eh... that sure looks like a golf course patio to me... the 19th hole. LOL According to the Properties that image was lifted today. I can lift similar pictures from the web sites of the golf coures I frequent. You seem to have difficulties with the English medium. Why, did I make any typos? You seem to have difficulties with ethics. Where, oh great anal sphincter, did Bill Who Putters claim ownership? Do you not understand, oh great anal sphincter, that the picture represents what can be done with moss, peanut butter or yogurt, aside? Maybe, oh great anal sphincter, you should go back to cutting and pasting from About.com. It is better suited to you, oh great anal sphincter. Foul language, dirty ideas, clueless observations, and groundless accusations really aren't needed in any of the newsgroups. So, guess you know where you can go, and what you can do. -- - Billy There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation.

Billy Stinks was: A hard time with moss & rocks
"Slithering Billy" hisses:
Of course it's not his house, you waste of space. Only the unethical would post a picture of a patio directly following talking about their own mossy roof and patio with no other identifying explanation... so if you are going to support that aberrant behavior that makes you a smarmy know nothing waste of protoplasm. But I already knew that you were never to be trusted, Slithering Billy, who never sows any seeds other than those of hate and discontent, and canned beans down his maw because all he produces here is a malodius miasma... Billy, you stink. And were it in error the poster should have been a man and apologized with pictures of his own moss rather than alibi. |

From: Sheldon Newsgroups: rec.gardens Subject: I would like some feedback.. Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:51:22 -0700 (PDT) Christian wrote: I own a business "Professional Pond Maintenance and Fish Care". That's your first untruth... you *operate* a business.... you don't own a business until your IRS return doesn't show you're operating at a loss. I'm not here to promote my business. That's your second untruth. I'm wanting to get any and all feedback, positive or negative, on a website I designed recently to go with it. I advertise locally and direct folks to my site for more information. Here is the link:http://allyoudoisfeedthefish.net/index.html What do you think of the basic design? Can you read it easily? Ads or no ads? I'm thinking people here are close to my target audience, being that garden lovers usually like ponds even if they don't personally have one. Thank You, Christian Your parents must have had high hopes for you to succeed in the arts... you're not going to do well in business unless you change your name. -- - Billy There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading.
