Unfortunately, my lawn has a lot of moss (if you look closely) this is because I’ve gone for the ‘wildlife effect’ i.e. too lazy to mow the lawn.
Moss is a signal of a lawn with problems. To control the moss, it is important to tackle the underlying causes of moss.
Basically, moss thrives where grass struggles to grow. The best way to prevent excess moss growth is to provide conditions for strong grass growth. This involves.
Spring is the best time to apply a moss killer, you could use a lawn sand (ferrous sulphate). This burns the moss and provides a boost to growth giving the lawn a rich green colour which is the envy of many gardeners. Alternatively, other more general lawn weedkillers will contain an active ingredient such as dicholorophen. Many commercial lawn treatments include several active ingredients to kill a variety of weeds and moss and provide food at the same time.
