    Has anyone tried bleach as a moss killer on tarmac? If so what are the recommended doses of bleach/water solution mixes?

    Why bleach?! If you use it then you'll end up with patches of paler tarmac than other areas so I would caution against using it.

    Pour salt on the moss, wait for it to go black then brush off.

      Or use washing powder. Works for me.
