  • moss in the compost?

    Do people put moss from their grass into the compost? Need to scarify the lawn and expecting to get a fair bit.

    I have tried that in the past but it didn't compost down, I finished up burying it so I would suggest that you put it into you brown bin or bury it
    it may be a struggle to reach the top, but once your over the hill your problems start.

      Its great for lining hanging baskets. I wouldn't waste it as its a useful form of organic matter. Use it as a mulch around plants. It would be good on top of a cardboard mulch where it would dry out.

        I just chuck mine in the compost.
        Our England is a garden, and such gardens are not made
        By singing-'Oh how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade,
        While better men than we go out and start their working lives
        At grubbing weeds from gravel paths with broken dinner-knives. ~ Rudyard Kipling

          I leave it growing with the grass. As long as the lawn looks green I'm not fussed if it's moss or grass.

            I would just put it under peppers or tomatoes to keep the sun off the soil.

              I’ve buried mine under the peas and beans to conserve moisture.

                Wonder then if I might add it to the barrel with the leaves from last year that I'm turning into leaf mould ? I use that as mulch eventually.
