Moss thrives where there is dampness. Conditions of poor drainage, compacted soil, heavy soil and shade encourage moss.

Avoid siting the lawn where there is dampness or shade. Consider planting such areas with suitable shrubs.

Starved grass, and grass weakened by too tight or irregular mowing, cannot compete with lawn moss. Feeding the lawn and mowing correctly as the first step to control. Scarifying encourages the grass and dries the soil surface. This can be carried out in autumn or spring. However before scarifying the application of a moss control product is essential.

 Moss Contamination can be caused by:

• Wet Soils / Surface water
• Heavy Thatch build up
• Badly shaded areas (No natural light)
• Cutting Heights too low
• Constant mulching of grass

 The Greenfeet Heavy moss control will eliminate all moss in badly contaminated areas.Once the product is applied it needs to be left to penetrate for 2-3 weeks before scarification can take place.In very bad cases a 2nd application may be needed depending on contamination levels.
