How to get rid of moss

Such a phenomenon like moss can be found anywhere: on the roof and walls of the house, lawns, trees, paths and small architectural forms in the garden.

Moss on the site

Causes of appearance

This negative phenomenon may occur on your Earth due to certain factors:

  • constant sanity of the territory;
  • excessive soil moisture;
  • shortages or, on the contrary, oversupply in the soil of fertilizers;
  • low grass mowing on the lawn;
  • great acidity soil.

It is possible to determine the most likely reason, carefully looking at the moss itself. On dry or excessively acidic land, the plant produces long straight processes, brown at the base and bright green above. In the territories with high humidity, Moss is sprinkled on the ground, and on lawns with briefly mowed grass, this plant looks like a rug from short straight shoots.

How to get rid of moss on the plot

We list the main ways to eradicate this plant on your back area:

  1. If the moss appears due to increased humidity, it is not difficult to determine this: take a handful of land in your hand and look at how much it is loose. The land of the soil, the better it crumbles. In the event that your section is too moistened, you will need to make drainage. To do this, you can dug around the perimeter of the territory of small grooves for water flow or make a high-quality drainage.
  2. If you have determined that the cause of the plant appearance is the increased acidity of the soil, the land will have to saturate with lime. During the junction of the soil for every 100 m², make approximately 50 kg of lime. So that the moss did not germinate, this procedure will have to spend every year.
  3. In the autumn and spring months, moss is growing particularly actively and for its eradication can be used to use certain chemicals. The most popular today is herbicide based on glyphosate, but it does not always give the desired result. More effective is the sulfate of iron, ammonium or copper. To prepare the mixture, dilute 100 ml of iron sulfate in 20 liters of water and spray across the territory. This amount of the composition should be enough to extend it in terms of 300 m². Similarly, you can remove the moss not only on the lawn, but also between the elements of the paved tracks or sites.
  4. Another way to destroy this plant is to pour it with dichlorofen. After the moss is black, it needs to be assembled and sewed to peeled herbs.
  5. If the design of flowerbeds or lawn allows you to cover the surface of the soil of mulch from bark, needles, straws or sawdust.
  6. Since Moss often grows in recesses and shorts, try to level the plot and add some sand to the soil. Periodically jump the ground to the forks to saturate it with oxygen.
  7. Grow cultures better at high beds.
  8. If you do not know how to get rid of moss on the lawn, our advice: more often make the grass and follow her height. For good soil aeration, the ideal height of the bow should be not more than 6 cm.
  9. Try to increase the illumination of the site, removing objects creating an excessive shadow. For example, cut down the lower branches on splashing trees. If the shadens is created by boys or bricks - hide them in a barn or other suitable economic building. If you plan to erect any construction in the territory, choose a place carefully for its location.
  10. In the event that it is not possible to avoid shaders, you can land in the most dark places of the plant that will feel comfortable there. Such cultures, for example, applies to Astilba, host, Brunner, hydrangea, various ferns, etc. Tepel-bique flowers with their presence displacing moss with the territory loved to him.
  11. Try not to water the lawn too much and do not do it at night. In addition, soil moisturizing in early spring or late autumn is also undesirable.
  12. Note that a favorable condition for the growth of MCH is not only excessive, but also insufficient humidity. The grass on the lawn from the lack of water weakens and dries out, thereby freeing the place for the parasitic plant. The first heavy rain or abundant irrigation will create excellent conditions for the development of moss on the territory.

The intervals between the holes in the Earth should be at least 10-15 cm. These recommendations will help your cultures well absorb nutrients, and the soil is to be saturated with moisture in sufficient quantities.
  3. As in the case of a lawn, the reason for the appearance of moss in the greenhouse can be too acidic soil.

How to get rid of moss on the roof

It happens that this parasite is growing not only on the soil of the household site, but also on the roofs of buildings. Let's consider several tips to solve this problem:

  1. Choose a cool autumn day to work, desirable coming immediately after a long summer heat. At this time, the moss will eat a little bit, so it will be easier to remove it from the surface.
  2. Divide the front of work on the plots and start with the one you want to process first, for example, from the facade side of the building.
  3. Get comfortable gloves and soft brushes. With this tool, consider moss from the roof, dropping it into the drain chute or to the ground.
  4. After you handle the entire surface, collect a plant in buckets or any other suitable containers. Carefully explore the territory around the house for the availability of moss remnants, if you find such, weigh them with a broom and also place them in the bucket. Remember that the moss remaining in the grass can strive again on the site.
  5. A dry plant can be thrown into a garbage container or use for household needs, for example, to recycle it into fertilizer.
  6. The last step of the fight against the parasite is the roof processing of chlorine. To do this, put on clothes that will not mind will be spoiled in the process of work, as well as rubber gloves. Divide 2 liters of bleach in a bucket of water and distribute the mass along the entire roof surface.
