1. Moss is the perfect method to obtain a unique look and fee to your yard or landscape. One
problem is that it can be difficult to get moss to grow. When it finally appears it may be ages
before it is mature enough to appreciate.
Below is a method that will speed up the growth of a healthy moss for your stones and cement
features.
Mix well an eight inch diameter wad of porcelain clay into about three cups of water until you
get a paste like consistency. Many stores like Hobby Lobby or Michael’s carry porcelain clay or
you can order it over the internet.
Next mix your clay paste and a single cup of liquid fish fertilizer, sometimes called fish
emulsion, and a single cup of diced moss. Fish emulsion is easily obtained from garden centers
and can also be gotten over the internet. It is similar to fish meal but it is liquid.
After everything is thoroughly stirred and mixed use a application brush to apply it to the
surfaces which you wish the moss to grow. Use a spray bottle to apply moisture to the surfaces
but careful not to apply so much moisture that your mixture is washed away.
Moss likes the shady areas of your garden and also nooks and crannies, In nature it is often found
on the north side of trees and may like the same in your yard.
This is one of the best methods I have come across to get moss to grow. It doesn’t work every
time, but if you give the right conditions it will grow most every time. It could take up to a
month to see results.
