Weeding Moss

I've read other particular folk's weeding their Green Acres; but I want to know how to Gently Remove the unwanted buggers growing in the moss. Many of the weeds have pretty strong roots and pull away a lot of my velvet. I do weed when it's moist of course and even use a fine paring knife to slip under the weed to try to remove it without tugging and destroying my treasured moss. What to do?????????? Please help me out kids...........Jaemy

    Weeding the Moss Garden:

    The two hand method works well for most weeds that can be pulled out. Place one hand flat on the ground with the weed between 2 fingers and pull with the other hand.

    For grass, briars and weeds with strong roots, I cut them off at ground level with scissors. With no leaves to make food for the plant, the roots eventually die. You may have to cut back the same plant 2 or 3 times, but it doesn't tear up the moss and actually goes much faster than weeding and repairing.

    Happy weeding......jjane

    Another forum said that moss doesn't like to grow on fertile soil, maybe add some compost or fertilizer to your soil and reseed with grass or perennials.

    I don't know about weeding moss, seems like a lot of work for a green carpet to me. Although I have nothing against moss, I prefer vegetables so far.
