London - Once considered the bane of gardeners’ lives, garden moss is now being encouraged to flourish in fashionable gardens all over the world.
From mossy accents on garden statues to artistic, furry green “graffiti” on stone walls or a layer of soft moss to help new concrete and terracotta pots blend seamlessly into the landscape, moss gives a magical effect.
To add mossy accents to your garden, whip up this simple “moss milkshake” and apply wherever you’d like the green stuff to appear.
Blitz together a small pot of live yogurt or buttermilk with a tablespoon of crumbled up moss in a blender. (Use the moss from your garden or local neighbourhood if you want to be sure it grows well).
Now apply the moss milkshake with a paintbrush to the areas you’d like to grown green.
It takes approximately six weeks for new moss to appear — and be warned, it may look mouldy before it turns green.
Moss grows best in damp and shaded areas, so spritz weekly with a little water to keep it moist if we have a dry spell (fingers crossed). - Daily Mail
