Frequently asked gardening related questions
Moss thrives in damp, shady, and poorly drained conditions, common in wet gardens. To prevent it, improve drainage by aerating your lawn regularly (using a fork or aerator). Scarify to remove existing moss and thatch. Ensure good light levels if possible by pruning overhanging branches. Improve soil health by top-dressing with a sandy, loamy compost. Maintaining a slightly higher cutting height can also help grass outcompete moss. Apply a moss killer if necessary, but address the underlying causes for long-term control.
