I’ll put a pack of cheap stuff on my next shopping list and try it out. I use ‘posh’ liquid stuff in the washing machine, so will get some powder in and give it a go. Hopefully it won’t make it slippy, all our paths are on slopes. Of course the moss is very slippy, which is why I’m keen to get rid of it before I break a leg. We’ve tried various ‘miracle’ moss killers, all expensive and hardly worked. I finally bought a wire bristled brush, that does work but a lot of effort, and we have a lot of path and driveway to keep clean.
Here is another confession. Here is our newly trimmed grisselina hedge, looking neat and tidy. And this is what is hiding behind it. Yes, that is a positive jungle of brambles, threatening to engulf the rhododendrons. Unfortunately that is a steep downhill slope, and very hard to get to. I’ve already removed what I can reach, before this picture was taken, so it’ll be armoured clothes and climbing boots needed for the next attempt.

Spouse's technique: Sprinkle it dry onto moss just before rain. Do not dilute it before use. It'll take a couple of weeks to work. Any brand of biological powder works. It won't make it slippery because it's granular, or certainly no slippier than moss itself. It does look a mess for a while, so try it out somewhere out of sight first to see if it works well enough for you to put up with a white patchy path. You'll have to brush it off. I can only say it works for us, it's cheap, and no worse than commercial moss killers as far as we know. We also have lethal slippery paths, although they are flat, so we have to do something, and we don't have the energy for the wire brush method when the moss isn't already dead.
...c'mon...if you honestly think anyone is fooled by the posed tools and 'random plant detritus' you've got another think coming... we're not stupid ... (see how I left that open?)
A watering can on its side with no water stain is the giveaway... it's all a bit 'bad continuity' really isn't it? And secateurs without any blood stains - pah.... and a set of stacked chair without Nanny Beach's fingers trapped between..
Admittedly, they've only been there for a week. My husband has a favourite rose which he waters infrequently using that can.I The tools will stay there until someone wants to sit on the bench. Wet twine works just as well As dry provided you allow for skrinkage. As you can see, the Jasmine has only recently been pruned . Spent half an hour yesterday looking for those secateurs. At least I know where they are now.
I have to confess to doing a little bit of work in making my garden a little less of a trip hazard and slightly more attractive, I've obviously not tidied, just camouflaged and concealed. Plant stand was a Freecycle find!
