Milton, GA 30004Q.Rehabing A Moss Lawn
My question is probably different from most! We bought a house 4 years ago and the backyard was a beautiful moss carpet. I could not find any landscapers that knew how to take care of it. Life got in the way and it needs some TLC and rehabbing. Suggestions on leveling it a bit as erosion has caused sunken areas. The whole thing slopes down significantly, but there are recessed areas I would like to fill it. There is also some kind of grass growing through it. Can I feed the moss to knock it out, or am I relegated to hand pulling? There is alot of it. How do I care for it going forward...any resources?

Certified ExpertA.Yes, hand pulling will be your method of control, here, unfortunately.
Filling in low spots can be done with a little topsoil, followed by replacing the moss.

Cebu city, PhilippinesQ.Is This Sphagnum Moss Or Java Moss?
I am having trouble with this and I want to know if this is a peat moss or java moss. Someone told me it looks like a java moss which is not advised for the carnivorous plants...

Certified ExpertA.It looks like a young Sphagnum more so than Java. Long Fiber Sphagnum will be best, though!

Zone 5Q.Will My Moss Grow Back?
This year I wanted to try something new for my summer garden. I decided to try a moss garden. It started off small but did not stay small for long. All spring,summer and now fall I have been adding moss. I have many different kinds. When I see moss that I like and it's in a public area I gather some. Private property I ask permission. My question is after all the work I have put in will my moss grow back next spring?

Certified ExpertA.You may want to set it aside and add small amounts at a time. It takes a long time to compost. Or compost it by itself.

April 19, 2021Q.How To Rid Lawn Of Moss?
Lawn is nothing but grass. It is shaded and does not get enough sun. Trees shading it are not on our property. How do we rid it of moss and start over with shade tolerant grass?
