Of Moss and Men...
Mar 23, 2008 | 9:12 AM PST
Anyone ever had a good experience transplanting moss??? I read some stuff on the net today that says you can get a handful of moss, mix it with a teaspoon of sugar, and either a can of beer or some buttermilk, and then spread that slurry where you want it, and moss will grow. What I am really looking for is something mossy, or a very low growing, low maintenance groundcover that I can use between the pavers of my patio. I am laying 1ft X 1ft pavers in, and I want to leave them about a half inch apart, to creat a standard tiled look, and I want something green for the "grout" -- Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanx, and Happy Easter to all. ^v^

Happy Easter. From my experience, the moss will only grow in the damp shaded areas, but I am not an expert. We have tons of it down here. I'm not far away from you all. You are welcome to come and visit and gather some to take back with you. You have a great day and happy gardening. Bill Mitchell |

I have seen pictures of just what you want. It is very pretty with all of the bright green lines. I have seen the recipe somewhere for the moss slurry too. I think I saw it on a TV show. They used it on pots and walls and etc. Maybe we can find it somewhere on the net. |
