Moss
Wife cleared a load of moss from the drive, but I just managed to stop her throwing it onto the compost heap. She asked why? What is the reason please! |

What is the reason please! It will be useful in your winter hanging baskets? ;-) I suppose the reason might be because the warmth and humidity of a compost heap will cause the moss to increase. My experience is that moss composts well. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Other than you might want it for hanging baskets or potting orchids (if it's sphagnum) I can see no reason why it should not be put on the compost heap. -- Regards Bob Hobden W.of London. UK |

I use mine for hanging baskets and for potting my orchids. It also, when dry, makes a handy artificial birds' nest to be hung up in a pot when some baby bird or other falls out and the mother won't land on the ground. Hang the pot in a tree with the chick in it and wait to see what happens. someone |
