Wet and marshy soil, shade and lack of good drainage, acidic soil - these are what contribute to the appearance of moss on the site.

The plant grows quickly and displaces other crops.

At the same time, moss does not cause much harm to the site, but can decorate it if there is no desire to fight it. Moss is unpretentious, resistant to diseases and does not need additional feeding.

There is no need to worry if moss has appeared in some places for the first time. With normal lighting and ventilation, as summer residents note, it will quickly disappear on its own. But to help the lawn withstand this fight, you need to carry out several manipulations.

It needs mineral fertilizers. Moss won't like these, but the grass will be stronger.

You can weed out the moss. The process is labor-intensive.

The lawn should be raked afterwards.

In the future, you should monitor the condition of the lawn, but you should not mow the grass too often or too low.
