Moss Control techniques

The key to reducing moss is to have an effective all-year round management strategy incorporating the use of Elixirs Lawn Sand & Moss Killer. The following non-chemical techniques can be used to help reduce moss;

• Ensure the turf is healthy, weed, disease and pest free. This can be helped by fertilisation and regular maintenance.
• Soil aerating of the lawn to help encourage the free passage of water & nutrients through the soil.
• Raking/scarifying to remove dead mosses and removal of fallen leaf debris to prevent the build-up of fibrous material which encourages weed and moss growth.

Following this guidance and using Elixir Lawn Sand & Moss Killer will successfully reduce mossed in lawns.
