    Hello All - been outside over the last couple of days, taking advantage of the early 'spring' weather - tidying up and clearing the borders. I have a significant amount of moss growing in the borders and in and around plants, shrub bases etc. What would cause this please? Is it harmful? It's easy enough to scrape off the surface, but am unsure why it's occurring. Any advice appreciated thanks.:dunno:

      Just grows in damp places and shows you have clean air :)

      Won't do any harm.
