I hear of people moaning about this much derided plant but one really
great use for it is for lining your hanging baskets instead of moss. Makes a really good liner that doesn't end up looking brown for half the summer. David@ a damp side of Swansea Bay. |

I know some gardeners use moss raked from their lawns, but even this dies eventually. You have made me wonder whether myob would make a good companion plant for orchids, growing on the top of the orchid compost to green things up a bit. Would it be too dry, do you think? -- Spider On high ground in SE London Gardening on heavy clay |

I think it would grow into the orchids and take over. |
