The appearance of lawn moss on a country plot is very bad news for a summer resident.

The plant will most likely “compete” with the grass for important substances.

The result will be a serious deterioration in the condition of the lawn. Thus, serious problems with the turf will arise.

To prevent the development of such a situation, it is necessary to get rid of the moss.

But how to do it? Three interesting methods were described by the expert of the online publication "BelNovosti", scientist-agronomist and landscape designer Anastasia Kovrizhnykh.

Iron-containing agent

It is necessary to fertilize the soil with a product that contains iron.

The appearance of this element in the soil cover is a guarantee of the subsequent disappearance of lawn moss.

The ideal option is to use ferrous sulfate.

Detergent

Are you afraid to use iron sulfate? Then use some detergent that contains surfactants.

Such compounds have a negative effect on moss spores.

Lime juice

If you want to choose the most natural remedy, then lime juice is the ideal option.

This liquid is a source of citric acid, which actually destroys moss.
