Lawn after I sprayed it with iron sulphate to kill the moss and used a petrol scarifier to remove the moss It takes a very long time to see results even after you stop watering days or weeks after application so be prepared to wait for months if your spot is large. Remove loose moss in autumn (September/October)by scarification or vigorous raking – the aim is to remove all the loose debris, but not uproot the grass.

For example, the Miracle-Gro Water Soluble Lawn Food will cover up to 400 m², whilst the Vitax Green Up Liquid Lawn Feed will cover 200 m², and the EverGreen Miracle-Gro Complete 4-in-1 Food 100 m².In July, you should apply a second dose of feed and weed if weeds are a problem. Remember, you should only use the weeder twice a year.

You can use a spreader but I wouldn’t recommend it as it’s difficult to do accurately as it’s so fine. If using a sprayer which I recommend, especially on a larger lawn, you need to use 5-10g per square meter, or 3-5g per square meter if you want to use it as a lawn tonic to green up your lawn once you killed the moss off.

You can store and add it gradually as other material becomes available. As moss is very widespread, any spores that survive the composting process won’t add significantly to the risk of moss forming in your garden.

You’re dealing with chemicals here and, even if they’re biodegradable, it’s better to wear gloves and a mask when mixing them up and applying them. And keep people, especially kids and pets, off the sprayed areas until the safety precautions tell you it’s safe to let them loose on the lawn again.
