MOSS

Low-growing, soft patches of green spongy growth are particularly common in shady areas.

What Causes It

Moss
Moss takes hold in poorly drained sites, often where the soil is acidic.

Fast fix: Rake off the moss and add compost to improve drainage. Reseed bare areas.

Prevention: If moss is persistent, plant a groundcover that thrives in damp, shady spots, such as violets or ajuga.
