Moss Cultivation

18 years ago

I remember seeing a technique for moss cultivation that involved a bit of moss, beer, and buttermilk. I think the solution was blended and then sprayed on a rock surface. Is anyone familiar with this method and is there a correct ratio of ingredients? Thanks!

Nighthawk13, the hypertufa forum always has information about how to grow moss with yogurt and buttermilk. I did a google search. Hope this helps:
