How to kill moss

| I have moss growing due to over watering. I have reduced the watering amount. However, is there is a way to kill the moss quicker? Does copper spray work? |

| The better question is, why kill the moss? What plant do you want in it's place? If you want to grow grass (yawn) then you have to change the PH. Make it less acid by adding lime, then adding more lime next year, then adding more lime. Why not encorage the moss and have lush beautiful green that you don't have to mow. Not that it's completely maintanace free, but it's a lot less than grass. |

| The moss is not in the lawn. (I live in southern California-not a lot moss lawns around here). It's starting to grow under some bushes that I watered heavily for a while, and I don't want it there. |

| What exactly's wrong with the moss under the bushes, though? |

| Nothing wrong with it. I just don't want it there. I am still waiting for an answer to my original question, which was how do you kill the moss where it is not wanted. |

| Maybe you could mulch over it. That way, you would not have to use chemicals that might harm the bushes. |

| Your not getting the answer you want because most of the people that read this forum would prefer to grow moss, not kill it. Sorry but you should check out the lawn or the general gardening forums and you'd probably get an answer there. |
