    Hello @terence.mccallum and welcome to the forum.

    It is no good doing anything about the moss problem yet until it stops raining and the ground dries out as it is basically a drainage and shade problem. I think a lot of us are going to have the same problem this year.

    Most people start moss removal in April, but there are things you can think about why you’re getting miss, and what changes you could make before you get to April:

    What are the push scarifiers like are they any good

    If you lawn is any bigger than “tiny” or your moss problem is bigger than “negligible” I would recommend getting an electric scarifier. It’s really hard manual labour.

    Think the rain may have drowned the moss

    It will come back faster than the grass.
