Moss, Ferns & Cryptogams

From Fescu lawn To moss

15 years ago

My moss is now well established but I have some clover - broad leaf weeds and some grasses popping up. How can I kill these? Will Round Up or broad leaf weed killer harm the moss or is its structure so different from the weeds and grasses that it will be OK?

Mosses are very tricky. I don't know for sure, but I don't think I'd take a chance with Roundup or some other weed killer around mosses. What's wrong with pulling out the weeds?
