  • Just finished having the moss removed from our roof and ended up with a couple of wheelie bins full and intending to use for a mulch in the front garden. I have used some that's blown off in the composter along with the fish waste from the pond in the past. Not sure if this is a good thing to use, any feedback would be appreciated.
