    Hi all, re turfed the lawn a couple of years ago and now before I’m just about to cut it this season although it’s got moss growing through it.

    Any ideas on what would be the best way to tackle this.



    Got pictures but it’s not letting me upload them

    Theres lots of info about.

    Try to fix the causes of moss if you can, namely shading and water logging/drainage.

    What I use is iron sulphate,then scarify, then reseed if necessary and some feed too. I cant sort the shading at mine so my battle is ongoing. :)

      I love my moss in my lawn, the marbling effect. some here and there. I just cut the lawn as normal with my big ridding mower. with shade one expects some. finding the right shade grass seed is important also.
