Moss on lawn
"Hello" wrote in message news I went into my back garden today to have a tidy up and noticed that there is a lot of moss where there was grass last year. My questions are. What should I do about it and when should I do it. I have not had this problem before, I have lived here East London for about six years. Thanks in advance for any help. you can either learn to live with it resow grass seed sow another cover crop rather than grass that is more adapted to the conditions take the areas out of grass and gravel it, pave it, put it in to gardens or whatever If you are growing more grass then remedy the situation that led to the moss build up. For example, never cut your grass too low during autumn and winter. A higher cut helps crowd out the moss. Do something, if you can, about shade. Shady lawns helps moss crowd out grass. If you have trees consider thinning them out to allow more light in. Killing moss if fairly easy as you can buy powders and sprays in garden centres. If you have a shady area chances are simply planting more grass seed without remedying the present situation will only result in the same cycle year afer year. I have had moss. In one instance I took all the grass out and put in into raised beds and gravel paths. In other situations I simply stopped mowing so low and pruned some trees. rob |

I leave it, as it is easier to maintain than grass, needs far less mowing! Alan |
