Once the moss has turned black and died – normally a week or two after treatment – you can rake it out and concentrate on mowing and other regular lawn care that helps grass grow healthily. Mo Bacter Instant is a plant-based moss treatment that works in just 24 hours. It helps with all of these treatments if you can mow the lawn fairly short beforehand, so the product can reach the moss more easily. Maxicrop’s Moss Killer and Lawn Tonic gives grass a seaweed-based nutrient boost at the same time that it gets to work on moss when it is watered on. For new lawns, apply worm castings at a rate of 8 quarts per 100 square feet of lawn area and work lightly into the topsoil.
A liquid treatment can often be more effective than a granular one. Aerate your lawn regularly-Worms are more active in wetter soils. Once those jobs have been done, it’s time to treat any moss that remains. Keep leaves off your lawn in the Autumn/Winter months. Aeration lets air in to the roots to encourage healthier, thicker growth from the grass, while scarifying helps to remove some of the moss that has built up, and also triggers the grass to grow more thickly.
The first course of action is to aerate and then scarify the lawn. Moss gives lawns an uneven colour, and a spongy feel to walk on.
