Q.Irish moss
My Irish moss has a weedcloverish plant growing out of it, actually taking over. Is there a weed killer I can use that won’t hurt the Irish moss?

My research showed that any product containing glyphosate (systemic herbicide) should work without harming the moss. That is because moss doesn't have a vascular system of roots, but gets its moisture and nutrients from the air. Systemic herbicides work through the vascular system of plants.
