moss in lawn

got a hell of a lot of moss in lawn seen 5 lt of iron sulphate " lawn tonic" but not a lot of info on killing the moss is it worth buying plz?

 

How deep is the Moss ? If its bad Mechanical removing or by hand if you're able and then a Iron sulphate treatment that my prefer method for a bad cause of moss. Its still going to need removing what ever you do so yes iron sulphate is worth buying. Buying soluble is cheaper can be found on ebay . An easier more expensive way may be of interest MO bactor that treats moss over time.

Iron sulphate can't be sold as Moss killer now to the general public , if it does say its a Moss killer you need a PA1 -PA6 pesticide / herbicide license officially to buy it. To get around the regulations its sold as just Iron Sulphate

 

Have a look at Mobacter.
I've used it with great results as has my neighbour and others on this forum.
Just sprinkle it on the lawn.
It kills the moss then breaks it down into nutrients for your lawn, so ne need to rake or scarify.

 

Lawn sand is widely available for general use without regulation. It will do what you require.

 

yes thats very true they cant sell it as moss killer per government rules, whot the world comming to cheers for your reply

 

yes heard of this but too expensive for me

 

I read somewhere recently that dilute white vinegar deals with moss, but it didn't say what dilution or why it had to be white vinegar rather than ordinary vinegar. If you have some vinegar in the house it might be worth trying it?

 

If you don't mind the expense then I can say from first hand experience that a robot mower eliminates moss. Don't ask me how!

 

Why has all the moss grown?
Maybe if you improve light, ventilation, drainage and soil compaction then you will have less of a problem in the future.
Maybe let the grass grow a bit longer I find this helps.
Note Iron Sulphate can stain slabs and paths.
