I have green moss growing all over my yard, short of using
round-up how can I get rid of it?

Use lime, REAL lime. Not limestone. You can probably find "hydrated lime"
at your local nursery, but anhydrous lime (CaO) is the real stuff. But be
careful because it is terribly caustic. "Limestone" is really pulverized
seashells, CaC03 and has almost no effect on the pH.

Get a bag or two of Moss Out granules, spread it out and water real
good. You will see it dark brown in 5 days which means its dead.

I agree. I would use one of the commercial moss killers, which are
effective. Raising the PH will also kill moss, but the level to kill
it quickly will leave the soil with a PH higher than desirable for
grasss.

It's also not true that the garden type lime products have no effect
on PH. They do, they just take a long time to work, which is why you
can apply them anytime without burning the lawn, which is not true of
contractor's lime.
