How will I compost moss

[rary]

After scarifying my lawn? I have several bags of moss, what is the best way to use this, do I compost it with all the other garden waste, could it be mixed and composted with cardboard or would I be better to keep it in the bags and let it decompose?

I'd mix it well with some "browns", e.g. your cardboard. If you put it in the compost bin as one clump it doesn't rot well. I know I've done it!

When I spread the compost the moss started to grow in clumps around the plot - so I don't use it any more in my bin

Just scarified my lawns too - although they'll need another going over. If you grow potatoes or runners/french beans, line your trench with it as it retains moisture well, as do grass clipping.

I don't put it on the compost heap. I feel that just helps it to spread ...

Birds use moss to line their nests. If you leave it in a pile in the hedge or somewhere I'm sure they'd be grateful for it.
