Moss/Lichen on roof (was:victorian/edwardian houses or new houses?)
"Neil Jones" wrote in message
m... Andy Hall wrote in message . .. That's no real issue and can easily be removed. I quite like to see a certain amount of lichens on roof tiles. It makes them look more interesting..... Apparently lichens only grow in places of low atmospheric pollution, so it's a good indicator of air quality, as well as any aesthetic benefit. but is the same true about moss? In fact, are moss and lichen synonymous? I know that lichens are rarer than they once were. I'm sitting working looking at the roof of the house opposite, and this is liberally covered in mosses. This is sunny Twickenham, not that far out of London and close to the Heathrow flightpaths and one of London's arterial road, so whereas this might not be an area particularly high in atmospheric pollution it certainly isn't the cleanest environment. I've taken the liberty of crossposting this to uk.rec.gardning, in the hope that one of their knowledgeable netizens may be able to throw some light on the question. -- Richard Sampson email me at richard at olifant d-ot co do-t uk |
