I'd not wait too long before rectifying your problem either, moss
indicates a moisture problem, your roof will soon be leaking as the
roofing and sheathing beneath will be ruined, and home owner insurance
will not cover your neglect.

Well, the shade can't be cured. Neighbors huge trees.
I know they won't remove them. It's pretty shady anyway, as the house
faces directly south and theses are in the back.

You can legally remove whatever parts of those trees cross your
property line, from hell to heaven, just at your expense.. might pay
to discuss this with your neihgbor and come up with a plan whereas his
trees aren't pruned so heavily that they look unsightly and then share
the cost. If that doesn't stop the moss from growing it won't be too
long you'll need your roof repaired so I suggest before your roof
leaks and does horrendous damage inside your house you have that
section replaced with a different roofing materal, possibly a roofer
will suggest metal roofing for that section.

I find it odd that you think a fungicide will work on moss.
Not really the same thing.

Not the same but it works... moss grows on my black top driveway in
front of the garage door because that faces north and never sees sun.
So each spring I spray that area with tile grout cleaner and apply
elbow grease with a stiff brushed scrubber... actually what I first
used is vinyl siding cleaner compound that contains an anti mildew
agent, I discovered it works on moss when I power washd my house and
the compound ran down my driveway, only I can't use a power washer on
blacktop or it will lift out the stones and leave holes, with heavy
use a power washer even on a low setting will destroy blacktop.
Whatever the chemical(s) in that power washer cleaner it kills moss,
then it can take a month or two for the dead moss to decay and wash
away. But naturally during the next summer it grows back, and I can't
prune my garage. The moss won't harm my driveway but it looks
unsightly.

Thanks for the pointers on the urgency. I know I have to do something.

Yes, I'd not put it off.

Good idea to seal your driveway. There is enough free space in the
composite to allow moisture intrusion and repeated freezing and thawing
will degrade it faster.

It's not one tree it's an entire stand of trees.
It blocks the morning sun, until around 11AM.
After then the sun is still not high enough to clear the
peak, the roof is about 45 degrees.
Then after 1PM the rest of the house blocks the roof with the worst
problem.

Like I said, lasts year I hit it a couple of times with bleach and
it didn't look quite as robust as before. Right now (winter) there's
not much there. I'll get it this year or call one of those roof
cleaning outfits.

I'd guess zinc strips would deal with it too.
Right now I'm trying to find the solution that works with the least
environmental impact. That's why I started with an oxidizer (bleach).

Just looked. I'd say about half of it is gone.

As others have said use glyphosate. Roundup is the trade name of the
original and (often) the most expensive version. Follow the
directions for use and safety instructions carefully. The point
about using it effectively is to use it when the plant is growing
strongly so that firstly it is absorbed through the leaves and
secondly it is carried down to the roots through the plant's system.
Some people use it when the plant is dormant thinking when the plant
is weaker it is vulnerable: wrong. Avoid spraying when rain is
coming or before using a sprinkler as if you wash it off before it
is absorbed it won't work, contact in itself does nothing.

I once read that, for vigorous perennial weeds, mix RoundUp slightly
less strong than the label instructions. It does damage the entire
plant not just the roots. By making it a bit weak, you ensure that it
does indeed reach the roots instead of killing the path to the roots.

For any spray or brush-on chemical, I always add liquid soap as a
wetting agent.

This is a good idea, the later versions of Roundup contain a wetting agent.

No, I get it on smoother surfaces like aluminum siding.
Just thinking, if pressure washer can remove stones, it may need sealing.

Be careful of galvanic corrosion. You just have to get the
right screws and stuff and a roofer that knows what he is
doing.

That photo was quite a while ago and your roof looks old then, perhaps
it's time for a new roof anyway. And today's metal roofs are
gorgeous, highly desireable, and they are used on all styles of homes,
and in that photo I don't see a colonial, I see no second story, looks
more like a ranch. But no matter, metal roofs (standing seam) look
great on all sorts of buildings.

Nothing at all wrong with it when used for the right way.

When a pro comes in to give you a new lawn, they kill the old lawn/weeds

New grass grows, right after the terrible Roundup.

Go figure.



A membrane has to be something like landscape cloth.

Actually, I was a faithful Agent user for YEARS, way back. It was considered one of the most powerful email clients.

Can't remember why I didn't upgrade from earlier versions, which are by now much more sophisticated. I think it was when they made you pay extra for NG access? Whatever the reason, it was a bad decision.

From time to time I tell myself to get back with Agent, then put it off, overwhelmed by daily **** and the apprehension that I might not be able to handle the later builds.

Maybe this will give me the requisite kick in the pants.

Hi Higgs,



I support Thunderbird professionally. If you decide to

give it a try, if you need help, you can always ping me in

the subject line. You have helped me with so many other

things and stayed a complete gentleman when we have disagreed

on things, I'd be tickled to be able to help you back.


Aw Todd, ya made mah day! I'll keep your generous offer in mind as I attempt to move out of the universe dominated by the 800 lb Google gorilla!
