#1: Moss in lawns query

Posted on 2005-07-28 06:11:38 by Graley

I have moss in a shady part of the lawn (in winter only). I have used
iron sulphate in the past but am having trouble getting it here in SE
Qld. The nursery suggested I use lime. That seems strange. One is acid,
the other alkaline.
Any ideas are most welcome.

Moss is formed when the soil is too acid - hence the advice from the
nursery to use lime.

Cheers.

Why would you want to get rid of moss?

I had some on my lawn once and it was really nice! I did my best to
maintain it.

Appearnce I guess. And I had planted a super couch that willl survive in
shade, And it went well, until this years wet wet winter. Then the super
grass succumbed, and I have a strip of moss ridden lawn along side a
lush area. I guess I am pedantic. My wife says "It's green isn't it?'

Thanks for that info re alkalinity. Will persist with that.
