Clearing moss from paths
Clearing moss from pathsDoes anyone have any advice on how to clear moss from paths?
I used Jeyes fluid on some of the flags but stopped using it because it brought worms up that appeared to be writhing in agony! I was also concerned that my hens might eat these worms and also suffer. The flags in the garden get really slippery in the winter due to the moss, I don't want to pressure wash them because it uses so much water doing it that and I end up with half the garden flooded. Any tips would be very much appreciated, June [center]Looking forwards to welcoming Sunny Clucker to Ashton-under-Lyne[/center]
Re: Clearing moss from pathsI do mine the hard way - scrape it off with a hoe, then brush with a stiff bristle brush.

the most useful tool in the garden Re: Clearing moss from pathsWe have had sucess with a product called path clear, but not sure how chicken friendly it is, last time we used it, it was pre chickens.......
not much help really sorry I have chickens Blaze, Star and Comet, who have met Sunny Clucker in Cheshire :-)

I have used that. The stuff they recommend for paths (they do a weed killer too) says not to use on veg gardens and if you do, not to eat anything grown for 6 months! I dont think it would be very chicken friendly, but it was effective at killing the moss. Chris xx
