Also, a moss killer (a sort of iron-rich fertiliser) might help - it will certainly green it up nicely. Graham |

I end up having to empty the bin every few feet when I do mine. Otherwise they're very easy to use and a lot of them are self propelled which would be good for the OP. Stephen |

Won't look so good for a while but will eventually get taken over by grass. I have done that and it works ok. rob |

It you don't kill it first, you may rake most of it out but spread it thoroughly at the same time! -- ®óñ© © ²°¹°-°³ |

Stephen You'll need to kill the moss first but when you are ready to scarify you'll need to go over it a few times. The first go is the worst and less comes off with each subsequent pass. In my experience having used one I'd never even consider manual raking now and yes they're very effective. Stephen |
