Spray during suitable weather and ground conditions. Choose a dry day that is relatively still to avoid the chemical drifting onto non-target plants. It is also important that there is no rain forecast as this can wash the chemical off the leaves of the weeds and reduce the effectiveness of the weed killer.

However, if the health of your lawn needs a bit more help than just a bi-annual feed application, you will probably want to choose a product without weed-killing properties. The Maxicrop 2.5L Moss Killer + Lawn Tonic features a seaweed extract which is what makes it more unique, combined with the all-powerful ferrous sulphate for killing moss. This tonic is designed to be applied mixed into water, making it easy to apply and much less likely to burn the lawn. Just a little word of warning, iron sulphate will stain flags with a brown rust colour so be careful not to get any on your patio. If you do, simply wash it down with water. You can also remove stains with a strong patio cleaner such as Smartseal Patio Clean Xtreme which I have also reviewed. I believe white vinegar or lemon juice can also remove the stains but have not tried this myself.

Be sure to follow all label instructions for use carefully otherwise, it may damage other plants in addition to killing moss.

Liquid moss killers are faster and more effective than granular alternatives because they can reach further down under the soil where moss “thrums” spread. – Liquid herbicides are also very versatile in killing moss since you can mix them with water to create a powerful concentrate that allows you to apply on really stubborn patches of moss growth without having to buy multiple bottles of product for different applications.

(I recommend dissolving in water) Therefore, you may wish to consider what is more of a priority for your lawn. If you’re looking for it to be vibrant and weed-free for the summer, applying a combination of lawn feed and weed killer in preparation will work wonders.

Even though you do not need any tools for application such as a pressurized tank or spreader, granules cannot reach very far under tree roots which means moss may often regrow if untreated. There are only certain brands that are safe for use during dry weather conditions so it can be harder to find the right product that will work for your type of mossy area (if you’re looking at one with a “dry weather” label, then yes it’s suitable). Selective weed killers work best when the weeds are growing strongly, usually between April and September. In a typical British summer, the ideal time for treating weeds is usually May or June. This is when growth is at its strongest. Overall, I would highly recommend the Miracle-Gro EverGreen Mosskill Lawn Food and Moss Control to anyone looking for a convenient, effective, and affordable solution for moss control and lawn care. It has helped to transform my lawn into a vibrant and healthy space that I am proud of, and I will be using it again in the future.
