Moose in the Lawn
Make up your mind.
Is it moss or moose? Removing moose can be very difficult. How they got to Scotland is a mystery. "john thompson" wrote in message . uk...

Moss in the Lawn
The message
from Janet Baraclough contains these words: Rising rainfall in Scotland means most lawns are getting mossier :-(. The moss receddes slightly in drier summer weather. You can hire a petrol driven scarifier to rake out the worst of it, (or electric, for smaller lawns than yours), then you have to rake it off and dispose of it. Well, Janet, Terry Lynock wants some: we could send him up with a rake... -- Rusty Direct reply to: horrid dot squeak snailything zetnet point co period uk Separator in search of a sig |

Take your pick. And, just to set a certain seriously invalid interjector right, this is from the OED: Forms: OE-16 mos, lOE-16 mose, eME musse, eME-16 (17-18 arch.) mosse, ME- moss, lME moes, moos, mosh, mossh, muse, 17 (U.S. regional) morse, 18- (Eng. regional) moze, 19- (Eng. regional) mose; Sc. pre-17 moase, moasse, mois, moiss, moisse, mooss, mos, mose, pre-17 17 (18 arch.) mosse, pre-17 17- moss Plus, of course, it is spelled moos in German.

Removing moose can be very difficult. How they got to Scotland is a mystery. Moose are good swimmers and can manage 6 miles per hour. If the OP lives sufficiently inland the moose could have already dried themselves off before reaching his house and so it wouldn't have been all that obvious. hth. http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/moose.htm michael adams |
