Moss can make some garden elements and even whole shady gardens look and really feel aged and established. The trouble with garden moss although, is that sometimes it may possibly not even grow at all on its own. And if it does, it could take a very long time to grow to be established.
Here’s a way you can accelerate and establish a lovely green moss cover over your garden rocks and concrete capabilities. This technique doesn’t work well on resin statues and artificial landscape rocks.
1st stir a fist size clump of porcelain clay into three cups of water to form a thin paste. You can typically get porcelain clay from local hobby shops.
Then combine the clay mixture with 1 cup of undiluted fish emulsion and 1 cup of fresh, shredded moss. Fish emulsion is a plant fertilizer produced from whole fish. It’s typically available at nurseries and garden centers.
Mix everything together and paint it on your rocks and concrete objects with a paint brush. Preserve items in the garden slightly moist by misting and taking care not to wash the mixture off.
Bear in mind that moss grows naturally in patches, likes the North side of objects, and takes readily to cracks and crevices.
Use this formula in shady gardens and in moist locations and you can most probably have moss on your garden statues and landscape rocks in a few weeks.
