Moss in Lawn
I have moss in some areas on my lawn in shady areas, mostly under 2 large oak trees. Trees also created some moss on the roof.
Moss on roof will be addressed soon. Long story short, trees were cut down ! Have applied Scotts moss killer to areas of lawn affected. Liquid killer you spray on with hose attachment. Seemed to kill the moss literally within a couple hours. Moss changed color to yellow-brown. Now to prep and repair the area... I know I must rake out the dead moss first, but everything I've read says to wait at least a week to ensure the moss killer has totally done it's job. After I rake out the dead moss, what are the nest steps? Lime, reseed, fertilizer ? Appreciate any feedback by those ho have gone through same experience. Thanks! |

Just remember that no chemicals, fertilizers, pesticides or herbicides of any kind, can be applied to the ground or vegetation within 50 feet of the lake shoreline. I understand that this regulation recently was changed to include lime.

Here's a non-chemical method to revive the lawn. Try aerating it with those aerate'n sandals sold at Ocean State for ten bucks. Basically ..... these are green plastic sandals with about 20-1 1/2" nail spikes attached ..... so you slowly and methodically walk about your miserable, crappy-wappy, terrible looking lawn with these aeration sandals to improve drainage and break up the compacted soil ..... and use no lime or anything else .
Bingo ......... a beautiful lawn will soon grow back!

Don't forget you need some water for that grass seed.
