Controlling moss
In article , "Bob" writes: | | Is it really a sign of acid soil? I've been puzzling about my soil for a | while now - the surrounding gardens have lovely magnolias (acid?), and my | acers and rhododendrons seem to do fine (acid) but my hydrangeas always come | out pink (alkaline) - even the ones that were blue when I bought them. The | soil testing kit said slightly alkaline, but I have huge areas of moss | spreading across the lawn, and the paths always get a thick spongy coat in | the winter... Some mosses are, but the real reason is that alkaline soils in the UK tend to be well-drained. As far as I know, there are mosses that will grow vigorously on any soil in the UK (including 'soils' so poor that they count as hardcore), subject only to sufficient damp. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
