Why use mosses?
Mosses readily thrive
in most shady and moist landscapes. Mossy lawns result where grass
growth is limited. Instead of fighting the losing grass
battle, consider the viewpoint of accepting and encouraging mosses
as an alternative ground cover. Mosses add a soft beauty
not only to lawns and gardens, but also to home and landscape
structures such as stone walls, walkways, and rooftops.
Further, mosses are able to grow on a variety of substrates from
rocks, to soil and tree bark.
