Moss in the yard?

Has the winter created a moss garden? Do you have that nice stuff in the lawn? Well you need to be careful about just putting chemicals down. That will not fix the problem. There is a time to put down chemicals and that time has to do with when and how. Chemicals should be the last resort. The sign of moss is an indicator that you have low fertility in the soil and a weed will gravitate to that medium. So a weed is any undesirable plant that is were you don't want it. In the Pacific Northwest it rains lot therefore creating an acidic place. For a nice lawn one needs to keep the lawn in a more alkaline state You do this by adding compost, lime, areating, thatching to help it along the way. As an educator one of my goals is to educate the public on how. So please don't be shy I am here to help. Winter is a good time to put a plan if attack into motion.
