Product Information

Stop cutting your grass so short: Letting your grass stay a little longer can help promote good health and give moss less of a chance to take hold. Lawn Gold Lawn Fertilizer & Moss Remover is the best lawn moss killer if you want a chemical-free product with organically-based ingredients. It works to create an environment that will successfully deter moss, containingcalcium which is used to reduce soil acidity. Moss thrives in acidic ground, so combatting its growth by improving the composition of the soil is an excellent, long-term solution. Moss removing fertilisers are slower to work and this is where they differ from normal lawn fertilisers which have a high nitrogen content. The potassium will take time to work its way into the root system and benefit the plant but when it does… it really does! Creating a strong, tough lush sward of grass.

Moss can be removed by raking or using a powered scarifier, or by applying a non-chemical, bacteria-based moss remover," say the RHS. I only have one issue with “no rake” lawn moss products; I found they are slow to act and when I tested them and I had to apply several doses and overseed a couple of times. It’s cheap and you can get hundreds of litres of diluted product from just one kilogram of powder, and I know from experience that it’s incredibly effective.

I recommend liquid-form moss killer if you’re worried about grass burn . Because the solution is diluted, there’s less danger of patchy application. Patchy application can lead to areas of product concentration (which ultimately burns grass!). If you don't have any success with a rake, scarifier or natural moss removal products then you might need to take a harsher approach. NatWest, Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) and Ulster Bank, which are all part of the NatWest Group, will now shut at least 172 of their bank branches in 2023 and 2024. It contains a much lower nitrogen content than many other moss killers/lawn feeds, which avoids an undesirable growth spurt for grass over winter. Instead, the root systems are fortified, resulting in stronger grass that is less likely to let moss overpower it. Aerate compacted and heavy soil: In gardens with compacted soil, either spiking the lawn with a rake or using a mechanical aerator will help grass grow well. "If your soil isheavy, use a manual or mechanicalhollow-tined aeratorin autumn,every three or four years, which removessmall plugs of soil," advises the RHS. "Brush a top-dressing mix into the holes, comprisingthree parts sandy loam, six parts sharp sand and one part peat-free multi-purpose compost,to improve drainage."

Every 5ltrs will treat 100-200 square meters. Moss Go Moss Killer for Driveways is the most concentrated product on the market. For General/light use 5ltrs can be mixed with 100ltrs of water. For extreme cases mix 5ltrs with a further 25ltrs of water. Diluted moss killers often show visible results within one to two days . Although, they shouldn’t be applied if rain is forecast as they may wash away and become less effective. Granular moss killers generally take effect in around two weeks . They slowly release their active ingredient so bad weather shouldn’t reduce their effectiveness.Moss requires a moist environment to thrive; unlike most other plants, it doesn’t have roots to transport water and nutrients. The best way to treat moss is to dry it out completely, and this is how a moss killer works. Most moss killers contain iron, which can dry out the plant over time.

Do take time to research the best time to scarify lawns. “Heavy scarifying should be done in March, April and September and October and lighter scarification can be done in February, May, and October too," says David Hedges-Grower Chairman of the Lawn Association. For lawns that need a full overhaul, be they overrun with moss, or weeds, or both, the A1 Lawn: Feed, Weed & Moss Killer is a no-nonsense product that will fight off moss whilst simultaneously putting weeds in their place. It’s one of the best high-strength moss killers for an all-round treatment on rebellious lawns. Plus, whilst combatting the not-so-pretty moss, it also finds time to green-up the grass and improve lawn health.

As a result, grass is more resistant to heat and drought, staying resilient and healthy which deters moss growth. All “No Rake” lawn moss killers work slowly, gradually killing off and consuming the moss. This gives the existing grass time to spread into the free space.

No rake moss killers are granular products that contain large amounts of potassium. The potassium encourages a bacteria called Bacillus, to grow. As the bacteria thrive they consume the moss. The main ingredient in moss removers is also an essential element in lawn fertilisers and this helps the lawn to thrive. This lawn moss killer contains two key ingredients, a moss killer and also a naturally occurring bacteria that consumes the dead moss and thatch that collects at the base of the lawn. On top of this, the granulated formula contains iron which kills off moss, stopping it from taking over whilst the weather forces you to spend more time inside. It can be applied every six weeks, with this 20 kg bag containing enough product to cover an area of 571 m². The mixture of organic and mineral fertilisers will not scorch the lawn if applied correctly and the actions of the natural bacteria will help enrich the root zone further helping increase soil fertility giving a healthier, greener lawn. I found that applying it was easy, I just diluted the powder in my watering can and applied it evenly to the lawn.
