I love moss!! Keep the weeds out of it by hand pulling. The roots are very shallow so I water mine lightly - frequently. Moss is great in that it needs no mowing and can grow in the most interesting places like on rocks.
You can feed by spraying (saturate) with a mixture of a tablespoon of dry milk mixed in a gallon of water. Do this 3 days in a row twice a year.
I wonder why it won't spread on its own, like nature intended. Have you used lime in that area? Knocks moss to oblivion. Is the area too sunny? Use Irish moss.
No lime for ten years. Very little sun if at all and it is all natural moss found growing in northern Minnesota. It seems to be spreading, but at a very slow speed. Where do I get Irish moss? thanks.
Look up moss and (Buttermilk, milk or yogurt) in a blender to make a paint on moss growth starter to grow moss where you want it, even on rocks or between pavers.
Lots of recipes available.
Thanks everyone.I will give the milk and yogurt recipe a try.
I too appreciate moss and encourage its growth in my yard, often bringing home samples to see if they will take hold and spread (most people and businesses will encourage you to remove as much as you want. Don't remove from public land.) Moss does not have roots so transplanting is easy. Lay it on the ground and press it down. Water or mist lightly.
Advice I have received involves spreading agricultural sulfur to acidify the soil. Not because the moss likes it, because it discourages other plants from competing with the moss. That milkshake should use buttermilk because of its acidity. You just add some of your favorite moss and give it a whirl.
